Assistant Accountant
Cambridge
£33,000 - £40,000
Are you a part-qualified accountant with the ambition to accelerate your career?
Heap & Co are recruiting for a highly visible Assistant Accountant role within a growing and progressive organisation. This position offers broad exposure to management accounts, financial reporting, business performance, systems improvement and commercial finance, making it an ideal next step for someone looking to move beyond a purely transactional role.
Why This Role Stands Out
Working closely with senior finance leadership, you'll gain hands-on experience across all areas of the finance function.
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.

- Management accounts preparation and month-end reporting
- Budgeting, forecasting and business planning support
- Financial analysis and management information
- Balance sheet reconciliations and financial controls
- Cash flow reporting
