Assistant Accountant | £35,000 | Exclusive Opportunity

I am exclusively partnering with a growing and well-established business to recruit an Assistant Accountant into their finance team.

What's on Offer?

  • Salary: £35,000
  • Location: London
  • Hybrid: 3 days in 2 from home

This is an excellent opportunity for someone with a strong transactional finance background (AP/AR) who has started gaining exposure to management accounting duties and is looking to take the next step in their career. The role offers genuine development opportunities, with support from experienced finance leaders and exposure to a broad range of accounting responsibilities.

The Role

As Assistant Accountant, you'll support the day-to-day finance function across multiple entities, gaining exposure to month-end processes, reporting, budgeting, and financial analysis.

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.
