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.
What we're looking for
- Experience within property accounting, service charge accounting, or a closely related finance role.
- Strong Excel skills and confidence working with reconciliations, schedules, and financial data.
- A good understanding of service charge accounting principles.
- Experience using property management software such as Qube, or a similar system.
- Accounting qualifications would be beneficial but are not essential; TPI qualifications would be a strong advantage.
- Excellent attention to detail, strong reconciliation skills, and the confidence to follow things through properly.

Why this role?
This is a role where accuracy genuinely matters. You'll be part of a business where service charge accounts need to be right, properly reconciled, and clearly communicated.

Interested?
If you have service charge, property accounts, or property finance experience and you're looking for a role where detail and accuracy are properly valued, we'd be happy to have a conversation.
