Description

As a Trainee Finance Assistant, you will support the Finance team in delivering accurate and timely financial information while developing a strong understanding of core finance processes within the housebuilding business. You will gain hands-on experience across a range of finance activities, including accounts payable, accounts receivable, reconciliations, and reporting.

Throughout the programme, you will work closely with experienced finance professionals, building practical skills and commercial awareness. If you do not already hold a relevant qualification, you may also have the opportunity to work towards the Association of Accounting Technicians (AAT) qualification and then progress to either the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) or the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA) qualification, depending on your chosen career pathway, as part of your programme.

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.
