Leading UK Law Firm | Hybrid | Bristol

Are you a qualified or part-qualified accountant who enjoys working at the intersection of finance, systems, data, and technology?

We’re working with a leading law firm to recruit a Finance Systems Accountant to join its Finance Systems team. This is an exciting opportunity to play a key role in the continued development and digital transformation of the firm’s finance function.

The role would suit someone who enjoys looking beyond traditional accounting and is motivated by improving systems, processes, and data to make finance work smarter and more efficiently.

Reporting to the Senior Finance Systems Manager, you’ll work closely with colleagues across Finance and Technology, as well as stakeholders across the wider business.

The role

You’ll have the opportunity to make a real impact across the firm, helping to ensure its finance systems are reliable, effective, and continually evolving.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Identifying and implementing improvements across finance systems and processes
  • Leading and supporting system upgrades, enhancements, and testing
  • Reviewing existing processes and identifying opportunities to improve efficiency, data quality, and controls
  • Supporting the development of financial reports, dashboards, and data solutions
  • Working with stakeholders across the business to understand requirements and deliver effective solutions
  • Supporting the continued digitisation and development of the finance function
  • Providing training, guidance, and support to colleagues on finance systems and processes
  • Using financial data and analysis to identify issues, opportunities, and areas for improvement

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.
