The Role

We're seeking a detail-oriented Senior Financial Accountant to join our Financial Control team. This position plays a critical role in supporting monthly, quarterly, and annual reporting cycles, as well as local statutory compliance obligations. You'll work closely with internal teams and external auditors to ensure accurate, timely financial reporting across multiple entities.

Key Responsibilities

Audit Support & Coordination

  • Support the planning and coordination of US and UK GAAP audit timetables, managing audit requests, gathering supporting documentation, responding to auditor queries through investigation and analysis, and liaising with internal teams to provide necessary explanations.

Payroll Accounting

  • Review, approve, and reconcile monthly payroll entries, ensuring accurate loading into the accounting system, completing payroll-related balance sheet reconciliations, and investigating and resolving discrepancies.

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.
