Your New Company

Hays are working with a well-established organisation based in Gloucestershire who are looking for an experienced Accounts Technician to join their finance team on a temporary basis from mid-August through to the end of November. This is a part-time position working 20 hours per week initially, with the opportunity for hours to increase during October and November to support year-end and audit requirements. The role is predominantly office-based, although some hybrid flexibility may be available.

Your New Role

Reporting to the Finance Manager, you will provide support across a broad range of accounting duties, with a particular focus on year-end preparation and audit support.

Key responsibilities will include:

  • Maintaining purchase and sales ledger activities
  • Performing bank and balance sheet reconciliations
  • Assisting with month-end and year-end processes
  • Preparing and posting journals, accruals and prepayments
  • Supporting the preparation of year-end accounts and audit schedules
  • Producing and maintaining accurate financial records
  • Assisting with budget monitoring and financial reporting
  • Investigating and resolving finance queries
  • Supporting the wider finance team with ad hoc accounting duties
  • Assisting throughout the audit process, providing relevant information and documentation as required

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.
