Join a high-performing finance team where your ideas matter.

Are you an experienced Credit Controller looking for the next step in your career? We're looking for a proactive, relationship-driven finance professional to join our growing finance team in a role that offers genuine responsibility, variety, and the opportunity to make a real impact.

Working within a collaborative and quality-focused environment, you'll take ownership of the accounts receivable function, build strong customer relationships, drive cash collection performance, and support the continuous improvement of finance processes. You'll also supervise an Accounts Receivable Assistant, helping to develop the team while ensuring exceptional service is delivered both internally and externally.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys taking ownership, improving processes, and playing a key role within a successful finance department.

Key Responsibilities

  • Take ownership of the sales ledger and accounts receivable function, managing a portfolio of key customer accounts.
  • Manage the end-to-end credit control process, ensuring timely collection of outstanding debt and strong cash flow performance.
  • Build and maintain excellent relationships with customers and internal stakeholders to resolve queries efficiently and professionally.
  • Identify opportunities to improve processes, systems, and controls to enhance efficiency and achieve KPI targets.
  • Supervise, mentor, and support the Accounts Receivable Assistant, including providing cover when required.
  • Assist with month-end and year-end close activities, including balance sheet reconciliations and supporting the external audit process.
  • Produce accurate reporting on debtor performance and aged debt, providing meaningful insight to the wider finance team.
  • Support the wider finance department with ad hoc projects and continuous improvement initiatives.

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.
