Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
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.
We offer a flexible and hybrid approach to working, enabling employees to balance office and home-based working. While there is flexibility around working patterns, this role requires regular attendance at our Manchester office, with a minimum on-site presence expected each week to support collaboration and the effective operation of the finance team.
The Role
You will provide a range of different functions to support the business. Whilst your day-to-day work will be limited to a subset of those functions, you are encouraged to become familiar with other functions so that you can provide cover for other members of the team. Focusing on completing tasks to a high standard within set deadlines, you will:
- Ensure that our internal accounts are accurate and up to date
- Provide general administrative support to the accounts function
- Maintain intellectual property office deposit accounts
- Maintain cashbooks, including posting receipts/payments to Sage and bank reconciliation
- Maintain sales and purchase ledgers, including posting disbursements, sales invoices and overheads to Sage
