Assistant Accountant | Bradford
Up to £30,000 + Study Support
Are you an early-career finance professional looking for a role where you can build your accounting career and gain genuine exposure to management accounting?
Elevation Recruitment Group are recruiting for an Assistant Accountant to join a well-established manufacturing business in Bradford. Reporting into the Finance Manager, you’ll gain hands-on experience across month-end, stock & inventory, cost analysis, management accounts, and financial controls.
You don’t need extensive manufacturing experience - what matters is a solid accounting foundation, strong attention to detail, and a genuine ambition to progress.
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.
