Finance & Accounts Manager

We’re looking for a Finance & Accounts Manager to join The Balloon Tree Farm Shop & Café.

After many years with the business, our current bookkeeper is preparing to retire. We’re therefore looking for an experienced finance professional to take ownership of the day-to-day finance function and become an important part of the next chapter of our family-run business.

This is a varied role covering purchase ledger, supplier payments, bank and cash reconciliations, VAT, month-end and management reporting, working closely with our Directors, department managers and external accountants.

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.
