Overview
Our client is a long-established Sheffield business operating within the construction sector with over 40 years of success across commercial and residential markets. With consistent growth and a reputation for looking after their people, they are now seeking a Company Accountant to act as the No.2 in Finance, supporting the Finance Lead and wider leadership team.
This is a pivotal role within a tight-knit finance function, where you’ll oversee day-to-day financial operations across multiple trading entities and the holding company. Working closely with the Finance No.1, you’ll be positioned as their long-term successor, offering a clear pathway to step into the top finance role over the next 4–5 years.
The Role
A broad, hands-on position with responsibility for key financial processes and operational oversight, including:
- Managing weekly payroll and subcontractor payments
- Overseeing credit control, customer contact, issuing statements, and chasing retentions
- Maintaining sales and purchase ledgers
- Stock booking, costing, and cashflow monitoring
- Preparing daily cash sheets for directors
- Monthly PAYE, CIS returns, reconciliations
- Supporting quarterly management accounts and year-end audit preparation
- Acting as deputy to the Finance Lead, covering essential duties during holiday periods
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.
This is not a role buried in reporting — it’s operational, hands-on, and central to how the business runs day-to-day.
About You
We’re looking for a commercially minded finance professional who thrives in a broad SME environment:
- Experience as a Company Accountant, Assistant Accountant, or Management Accountant within a small finance team
- Strong IT and accounting technical skills
- Confident communicator, able to liaise with customers, suppliers, and internal teams
- Highly organised, proactive, and adaptable
- Background in credit control, payroll, or general accounts is beneficial
- AAT qualification helpful but not essential — qualified by experience welcomed
- Construction sector experience advantageous but not required

Most importantly, you’ll bring reliability, a positive attitude, and the ability to build strong relationships across the business.
Why This Role Stands Out
- Join a stable, profitable, long-standing Sheffield business
- Work directly with senior leadership and gain exposure across the group
- Clear progression pathway to Finance No.1 role
- Annual profit share bonus paid consistently for the last 10 years
- Supportive, friendly culture with exceptionally low staff turnover
- Varied workload — no two days look the same
