We are recruiting a Senior Revenue Controller (SRC) to join our Revenue and Billing team.

You will play an important part in supporting the firm's continued focus on delivering a first-class service and maintaining effective working capital management.
The firm operates a hybrid working model, with an expectation that colleagues attend the office for a minimum of 40% of their working time. During the first few months in the role, a greater office presence will be beneficial to support onboarding, and collaboration within the team.

- Lead regular review meetings with Partners and lawyers on complex matters
- Act as a senior point of expertise for revenue control and billing matters
- Oversee and coordinate the monthly billing and cash collection cycle
- Ensure compliance with revenue control policies, including discount and write-off policies
- Support the continuous improvement of billing processes and systems

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.
