About the Company

We are currently partnering with our client to recruit an experienced Interim Financial Accountant for an initial six-month contract. This is an excellent opportunity for a qualified accountant to join a well-established finance team, supporting a busy reporting function across multiple European entities.

About the Role

The successful candidate will be a technically strong financial accountant who can quickly establish themselves within the business and take ownership of a broad range of financial reporting, statutory accounting and compliance responsibilities.

Responsibilities

  • Preparation of statutory accounts and tax information for multiple European markets.
  • Production of accurate and timely monthly management accounts.
  • Preparation and review of Group balance sheet reconciliations.
  • Liaising with KPMG and the internal tax team to provide financial information required for statutory accounts and corporation tax calculations across several European entities.
  • Completing the monthly IFRS 9 expected credit loss calculation, including journal postings and annual review of assumptions.
  • Managing the monthly IFRS 16 lease accounting process, including journal postings and reconciliations.
  • Completing monthly UK pension reconciliations together with half-year and year-end reconciliations for the UK, Ireland, Italy and Germany.
  • Overseeing the maintenance and integrity of the fixed asset register across the EMEA region.
  • Providing day-to-day support and guidance to the Assistant Financial Accountant.

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.
