You will be responsible for maintaining balance sheet accounts through timely reconciliations and ensuring appropriate accounting treatment to support the production of Annual Accounts, Whole of Government Accounts returns and monthly financial reporting.

Working closely with the Financial Accountant, you will support VAT and taxation activities, including preparing VAT returns to HMRC and responding to VAT queries. You will also ensure the correct accounting treatment of operational leases, salary sacrifice schemes and stock balances.

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.
