About the Role

A great opportunity for a qualified or finalist Financial Accountant to join a growing, multi-entity business in a broad role covering management accounts, balance sheet, VAT, cashflow, and financial controls. With significant scope to take ownership and improve processes, the role offers a clear pathway towards Finance Manager while working within an ambitious and evolving finance function.

Client Details

We're working with a successful multi-entity business that is going through an exciting period of growth and investment. They're now looking for a Financial Accountant to join the team and take ownership of a broad range of financial accounting and reporting responsibilities.

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.
