Management Accountant / Finance Lead | £60,000–£70,000 | Edinburgh (Hybrid)
Are you a commercially minded accountant who wants to do more than simply report the numbers?
I’m partnering with a successful, growing creative business in Edinburgh to find a Management Accountant / Finance Lead who can help shape its finance function and influence how the business develops.
This is not a back-office role. You’ll work closely with the COO, CEO and leadership team, turning financial information into practical insight that drives better decisions, stronger forecasting and sustainable growth. You’ll be visible, involved and listened to.
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.
You’ll take ownership of:
- Monthly management accounts, variance analysis and clear commentary
- Cashflow forecasting, budgeting and rolling forecasts
- Financial modelling, project profitability and resource planning
- Improving systems, controls and reporting processes
- Exploring how automation and AI can make finance smarter
- Supporting and constructively challenging colleagues across the business
The culture? Creative, entrepreneurial, informal and genuinely people-focused. It’s a fast-moving, non-corporate environment with a team who are passionate about what they do.

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
You may be qualified, newly qualified or a strong ACCA, CIMA or ACA finalist, with study support available. More importantly, you’ll be confident with management accounts, forecasting, cashflow and Excel, with the personality to explain finance clearly and build trusted relationships.
Experience within an SME, agency, digital, creative or service-led business would be a real advantage.
This is an opportunity to build something, make your mark and progress towards a senior finance leadership role.
