You’ve qualified as an accountant.

Now you want a role that gives you a bit more to get your teeth into.

Not just one company. Not just one set of numbers.

About the Role

As Group Accountant, you’ll be working across an international group with businesses in Spain, Germany, Poland, South Africa, and other locations around the world.

Reporting directly to the Finance Director, you’ll have plenty of exposure to what’s happening across the wider group and the opportunity to understand how each part of the business fits together.

There’s variety here. As Group Accountant, you’ll take care of the things you’d expect at this level:

  • Management and statutory accounts
  • Balance sheet reconciliations
  • Month-end
  • Group reporting
  • Ensuring the numbers coming in from across the businesses are accurate and make sense

But it’s the international side that makes this role a little different. You’ll be dealing with finance teams and businesses across different countries, pulling everything together and giving the Finance Director a clear picture of what’s happening across the group.

You won’t be doing it from within a huge corporate finance department either. The culture here is genuinely lovely. People know each other, they help each other, and there’s a real sense of everyone pulling in the same direction. It’s friendly and down to earth, and despite being part of an international business, you’ll still feel like you’re part of a close-knit team.

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.

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.

As Group Accountant, you’ll probably be someone who enjoys that balance. You’re technically strong and comfortable taking ownership of your numbers, but you’re also approachable and happy picking up the phone to someone in Poland, Spain, or South Africa to get to the bottom of something.

Requirements

You’ll need to be a qualified accountant, ACA, ACCA, or CIMA, with a solid grounding in financial accounting and reporting. You’ll be comfortable with:

  • Group reporting and consolidation
  • Balance sheets and reconciliations
  • Month-end and year-end reporting
  • Management and statutory accounts
  • Working across multiple entities
  • Building relationships with finance colleagues internationally
  • Being someone the Finance Director can rely on

As Group Accountant, you’ll be close enough to the detail to know your numbers, while understanding what those numbers are telling you about the wider business.

What’s in it for you?

  • Salary up to £55,000
  • Monday to Friday
  • Direct exposure to the Finance Director
  • A genuinely friendly culture where people support each other
  • The chance to become an important part of a growing international group rather than simply looking after one set of accounts
