Financial Accountant
Mondrian Alpha are working exclusively with a privately owned, Southern Africa-focused fuel trading group to appoint a Financial Accountant to join their lean senior team. This is an opportunity to join an entrepreneurial international business, work closely with its founders and develop a broad accounting and commercial skill set.
The group trades more than one billion litres of fuel annually, generating approximately US$700–900 million in turnover. Despite its scale, it retains a small management team, a flat structure and a collaborative, down-to-earth culture.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
About the Role
Reporting directly to the London-based CFO, CEO, and Founders, you will maintain books and records, prepare invoices and bank payments, complete reconciliations, and prepare financial statements. You will also support cash flow and working capital reporting, working closely with trading colleagues, local finance teams, and external advisers.
Alongside the accounting remit, you will gain exposure to commercial relationships with major trading counterparties, including one of the world's largest trading firms. A two-year development period will support your progression into broader financial reporting, treasury, and operational responsibilities.

Requirements
The role suits someone with one to four years’ post-qualification experience, ideally from a mid-tier accountancy firm covering commodities, oil and gas, or energy clients, or a mid-sized commodities business.

Benefits
The position is remote, with office space available for onboarding and training. Regular international travel is required, particularly to Southern Africa, alongside visits to Dubai.
