Finance Assistant / Accountant – 12 Month FTC

Location: Canary Wharf, London

Working Pattern: 3 days per week onsite

Contract: 12-month Fixed-Term Contract

We are currently recruiting for a Finance Assistant / Accountant to join a financial services organisation on a 12-month FTC basis.

We are looking for someone with a strong accounting background and, importantly, previous banking experience. The successful candidate will support core finance, accounting control, and reporting activities within the team.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
