Job Title

SRM Recruitment is partnering with a highly successful global trading and technology-led business to recruit a Financial Accountant into its growing London finance team.

This is an excellent opportunity for a newly qualified or recently qualified accountant to join a high-performing, fast-paced environment where finance plays a key role in supporting business growth, governance, and strategic decision-making.

Working closely with senior finance stakeholders, you will gain exposure to a broad range of financial reporting, control, and process improvement activities, while developing your career within a dynamic international organisation.

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.
