Mapped Recruitment is partnering with a globally recognised luxury brand to appoint a Finance Specialist into its North Europe team based in Slough.

This is a part-time contract opportunity offering flexibility around working pattern:

  • Option 1: 5 days per week, approximately 4 hours per day
  • Option 2: 3 days per week, approximately 8 hours per day

The successful candidate will report directly to the UK Head of Finance and take ownership of day-to-day Accounts Payable (80%+), Accounts Receivable, and banking accounting activities. The role would suit someone who enjoys being hands-on and taking ownership within a smaller finance team, while also having experience of the processes, controls and standards associated with a larger organisation.

Key Responsibilities:

Accounts Payable / P2P

  • Review, verify and process supplier invoices accurately and on time
  • Manage invoice matching across purchase orders, receipts and invoices
  • Investigate and follow up outstanding invoices
  • Prepare manual payments using the appropriate approval processes

  • Reconcile supplier statements and resolve discrepancies
  • Complete weekly AP reconciliations
  • Ensure appropriate VAT accounting
  • Support fixed asset-related payable accounting
  • Provide support during internal and external audits

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.
