Financial Accountant | Basingstoke | Hybrid Working | Up to c£56,000 + Outstanding Benefits
Are you a technically strong accountant looking for a role where your expertise is genuinely valued, your work has real impact, and your career can continue to develop?
Venture Recruitment Partners is delighted to be partnering with a highly respected and prestigious organisation in Basingstoke to recruit a Financial Accountant into a key role within its finance team.
This is far more than a traditional technical accounting position. You'll take ownership of a significant Property, Plant & Equipment portfolio, partner with senior stakeholders across the organisation and play a key role in supporting major investment decisions, financial control and business performance.
If you enjoy combining technical accounting excellence with commercial exposure and stakeholder engagement, this is an opportunity to make a genuine difference.
The Opportunity:
Reporting to senior finance leadership, you'll be responsible for:
- Leading the end-to-end accounting for a substantial Fixed Asset and Property, Plant & Equipment portfolio.
- Managing lease accounting under IFRS 16.
- Producing high-quality monthly reporting, forecasting and balance sheet reconciliations.
- Supporting month-end, year-end and audit activities.
- Partnering with operational and project teams on capital investment programmes.
- Providing financial insight and challenge to support business decision-making.
- Driving continuous improvement across controls, governance and reporting processes.
- Presenting financial information and recommendations to senior stakeholders.
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.
