Looking to start your career in finance?
Are you a recent graduate, A-Level leaver, AAT student, or junior administrator looking for an opportunity to build a career in accounts and finance?
We're working with an established manufacturing business in Corby that is looking for a bright, organised, and motivated person to join their small office team.
This isn't a role where you need years of accounts experience. The business is looking for someone with the right attitude and potential who they can train and develop over the next few years.
You'll initially support with finance, purchasing, and general administration before gradually taking on more responsibility across bookkeeping, payroll, and management accounts.
What will you be doing?
You'll work closely with the existing finance team and bookkeeper, learning as you go. Your responsibilities will include:
- Processing supplier invoices and assisting with customer invoicing
- Supporting purchase and sales ledger
- Raising purchase orders and matching invoices
- Helping with weekly and monthly payroll
- Supporting bookkeeping and finance administration
- Assisting with monthly management accounts and trading reports
- Updating finance information on the company's MRP system
- Helping with the transition from Sage 50 to Xero
- Liaising with suppliers and customers
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.

Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
As your confidence and experience grow, the role will grow with you, with the opportunity to eventually take responsibility for areas such as payroll and bookkeeping.
Who would this suit?
We're open to different backgrounds, but this could be a great fit if you're:
- A recent graduate in Finance, Accounting, Business, Economics, or a related subject
- An A-Level student looking to start a career in finance
- Studying or considering AAT
- A junior administrator wanting to move into accounts
- Someone with 1-2 years' experience looking for a finance-focused career
- A bright, numerate individual who simply wants the opportunity to get started in finance
AAT Level 2 would be useful but isn't essential. What's more important is that you're comfortable with numbers, organised, personable, and genuinely keen to learn.
