Are you an ACA or ACCA qualified accountant with a practice background, ready to step into a senior, commercially focused role with real responsibility?
For nearly 30 years Vercity has been the UK's leading provider of Asset and Infrastructure projects in the public sector, and an MSA leader in the PFI space with over £30 billion of public sector assets under management.
We're recruiting a Finance Manager to act as the finance lead and Company Secretary across a portfolio of infrastructure projects. This is a high‑impact role where you'll operate as the equivalent of Finance Director at project level, partnering closely with senior stakeholders and Boards.
What you'll be doing
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.
