Financial Accountant
North Lanarkshire | Permanent | Competitive Salary + Benefits
We’re working with a well-established organisation that is continuing to grow and invest in its finance function.
They are looking to appoint a Financial Accountant who wants more than just a transactional role — someone who enjoys understanding the numbers, improving processes, and working with people across the wider business.
This is a fantastic opportunity for a qualified or finalist level accountant to join a supportive and professional finance team, gain broad exposure, and build a strong platform for future progression.
What will you be doing?
You will have a varied role covering both financial accounting and reporting, including but not limited to:
- Taking ownership of key elements of the month-end close and financial reporting process.
- Preparing and reviewing management accounts and supporting financial analysis.
- Managing balance sheet reconciliations.
- Investigating variances and providing clear commentary on financial performance.
- Managing accruals and prepayments, including monthly reviews and regular reconciliation.
- Reviewing and maintaining fixed asset registers, including additions, disposals, and depreciation.
- Supporting the accounting for intercompany transactions, including reconciliations and resolution of differences.
- Assisting with statutory accounts, audit, and tax requirements.
- Working closely with operational teams to resolve financial queries and improve financial understanding.
- Helping identify opportunities to make finance processes more efficient, accurate, and automated.
- Supporting finance projects and wider business improvement initiatives.
- Providing high-quality financial information to support better business decisions.
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.
What are we looking for?
We're looking for someone who is ambitious, commercially aware, and keen to develop.
You could be an experienced Financial Accountant looking for a broader role, or a strong Assistant Accountant ready to take the next step.
You'll ideally have:
- ACCA, CIMA, or ACA qualification — qualified, part-qualified, or actively studying.
- Solid experience in financial accounting and month-end reporting.
- Good knowledge of reconciliations, journals, accruals, and prepayments.
- Strong Excel skills and confidence working with large sets of financial data.
- Experience using an ERP or accounting system.
- Excellent attention to detail, combined with the ability to see the bigger picture.
- Strong communication skills and the confidence to work with non-finance stakeholders.
- A proactive mindset and a genuine desire to improve how things are done.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Experience within facilities management, shared services, property, construction, engineering, or another multi-site/service-led environment would be beneficial, but isn't essential.
Why consider it?
This is a role where you'll be visible, valued, and given the opportunity to develop.
You'll join an established business with a strong operational footprint, working alongside an experienced finance team while gaining exposure to different areas of the organisation.
There's scope to broaden your technical accounting experience, strengthen your commercial understanding, and take ownership of meaningful pieces of work, making this an excellent move for someone with their sights set on a Senior Financial Accountant, Finance Manager, or Financial Controller position in the future.
