R4 Advertising is growing, and we’re looking for an ambitious Accounts Senior to strengthen our finance team.

This is a hands-on role for someone with strong accounting fundamentals who wants to continue developing professionally and progress towards becoming fully qualified.

Working closely with the Finance Director, you’ll support the day-to-day finance function, month-end reporting, and the accuracy of our financial records. You’ll work across the full accounting cycle, from transactional processing through to trial balance, balance sheet reconciliations, and management reporting.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Preparing and reviewing trial balances.
  • Completing monthly balance sheet reconciliations.
  • Maintaining accurate general ledger records.
  • Posting journals, accruals, prepayments, and adjustments.
  • Investigating and resolving discrepancies.
  • Supporting month-end and management accounts.
  • Assisting with year-end accounts and audit requirements.
  • Supporting purchase ledger, sales ledger, and bank reconciliations.
  • Helping improve finance processes and internal controls.

You’ll have direct exposure to the Finance Director and the opportunity to develop both your technical and commercial accounting experience as R4 continues to scale.

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.

No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

We’re looking for someone who has:

  • Around 3 years’ relevant accounting experience.
  • Strong hands-on trial balance experience.
  • Confidence completing balance sheet reconciliations independently.
  • Experience across general ledger and month-end accounting.

  • A genuine ambition to become fully qualified.
  • Strong analytical skills and excellent attention to detail.
  • The ability to investigate discrepancies and take ownership of resolving them.
  • Confidence working across both transactional finance and reporting.
  • Experience using Xero would be advantageous.
  • Experience within services, professional services, agency, media, or advertising would be preferred.
  • You’ll be someone who takes ownership, gets into the detail, and wants to understand the numbers rather than simply process them.

What You Get:

  • Front-row exposure to a fast-growing business, with the opportunity to develop your finance experience as R4 continues to scale.
  • Direct access to the Finance Director, giving you visibility across month-end, reporting, reconciliations, and wider commercial decision-making.
  • Exposure across the full accounting cycle, from transactional finance through to trial balance, balance sheet reconciliations, and management reporting.
  • A role that supports your progression towards qualification, with the opportunity to build both your technical and commercial accounting experience.
  • Real ownership and responsibility – your work will directly support the accuracy, control, and financial performance of the business.
  • A fast-paced environment where attention to detail matters, and where people are encouraged to question, investigate, and continuously improve how we work.
