Finance Systems Accountant – Workday
12-month FTC | £80,000–£90,000 | London | Hybrid
I’m supporting a global specialty insurer looking for a hands-on Finance Systems Accountant to join its finance team during a significant Workday implementation.
This is a hybrid role combining finance transformation with BAU accounting. Initially, you’ll focus heavily on Workday testing, data validation, fault finding and report design. As the business approaches go-live, you’ll help transition reporting from SUN into Workday while continuing to support year-end and quarter-end activity.

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.
