Salary: £35,000

Location: Fforestfach, Swansea

Hours: Monday to Friday, 8:00am-4:30pm

Working pattern: Fully site-based

Type: Permanent

We are recruiting for an Accounts Manager to join a growing multi-entity, multi-site business based in Fforestfach, Swansea. This is a hands-on role with responsibility for the day-to-day transactional finance function, VAT and supporting the wider finance requirements across a number of entities.

Working as part of a small finance team, you will oversee transactional finance activities while working closely with senior management. The role will suit someone who has a strong understanding of accounts payable, accounts receivable, VAT and month-end processes, and who is comfortable working across multiple entities.

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.
