The Company:

Campbell Grove Talent are working with a growing international business just outside Batley, and they're after an Assistant Finance & Reporting Accountant to join their team. It's a genuinely varied role; you won't be stuck doing the same three tasks on repeat. Think financial accounting, reporting, compliance, and a good dose of process improvement, all while working across their overseas entities. If you like the idea of getting stuck into finance transformation and automation projects, this could be a great fit.

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.

What you'll be doing:

  • Preparing journals, reconciliations and financial reports
  • Digging into overheads, budgets and forecasts, and figuring out why the numbers moved

  • Managing expenses, corporate cards and the reconciliations that come with them
  • Keeping expense processes tight and compliant
  • Getting involved in automation and process improvement work
  • Liaising with people across the business and external auditors
  • Spotting opportunities to make processes, controls and data just that bit better

What we're hoping you'll bring:

  • A solid grasp of accounting principles
  • Excel skills you're happy to put to the test
  • Curiosity about automation, systems and doing things more efficiently
  • An eye for detail and a "let's just fix it" mindset
  • Confidence chatting to stakeholders, whether they're down the corridor or in another country
  • Studying towards (or keen to start) ACCA or CIMA - bonus points, not a dealbreaker
