  • Taking ownership of supplier accounts, resolving queries and building strong working relationships.
  • Supporting the wider finance and operational teams with invoice and payment-related queries.
  • Ensuring supplier information and account records are maintained accurately.
  • Monitoring shared finance inboxes and responding promptly to internal and external enquiries.
  • Investigating discrepancies and working with stakeholders to resolve issues quickly.
  • Assisting with month-end activities and supporting the wider accounts function where required.
  • Helping identify opportunities to improve processes and increase efficiency across the purchase ledger function.
  • Providing guidance and support to junior team members where appropriate.

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.
