Salary: Up to £30k Base DOE + Benefits

We're exclusively recruiting on behalf of a fast-growing group operating at the heart of global commodity logistics, moving product across borders for customers throughout the UK and Europe.

What you'll be doing:

  • Working closely with our European and UK Management Accountants, you'll take ownership of day-to-day sales and purchase ledger activity across multiple group companies, including:
  • Coding and posting sales and purchase invoices on Sage200 across multiple group companies, including managing the purchase invoice inbox and chasing authorisations.
  • Posting bank receipts and payments, reconciling purchase ledger accounts to supplier statements and supporting the daily credit control function.
  • Providing holiday/sickness cover across the Group Sales and Purchase Ledgers, plus assisting with accruals, prepayments and ad-hoc finance projects.

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.
