You can find out more about our projects and clients on our website.
As we continue to grow, we're looking for an enthusiastic and motivated Trainee Finance Assistant to join our Finance team.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to start a career in finance. Whether you're leaving school or college, looking for your first office role, changing careers, or considering an apprenticeship, we'll provide the training and support you need to succeed.
About The Trainee Finance Assistant Role
Are you organised, enjoy working with numbers and have a keen eye for detail?
Working alongside our experienced Finance team, you'll begin your career by learning the Purchase Ledger function, giving you a solid understanding of how our finance department operates.
As your confidence and experience grow, you'll have the opportunity to take on additional responsibilities across the wider Finance team, developing your skills and broadening your knowledge beyond Purchase Ledger. Whether that's Sales Ledger, reconciliations, month-end activities or other finance tasks, we'll support your development every step of the way.
Reporting to the Finance Manager, you'll become an important member of the team, gaining hands-on experience while building a long-term career within a growing business.
What You'll Learn As Our Trainee Finance Assistant
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.
You'll be supported to learn how to:
- Process supplier invoices and credit notes accurately.
- Maintain accurate financial records and data.
- Investigate invoice queries and resolve discrepancies.
- Set up new suppliers and subcontractors on our finance system.
- Complete HMRC verification checks where required.
- Reconcile supplier statements.
- Manage the Finance inbox and respond to supplier enquiries.
- Speak professionally with suppliers by telephone and email.
As you develop, you'll have the opportunity to learn other areas of finance and support the wider Finance team with additional responsibilities.
Full training will be provided.
