Financial Accounting Manager | £70,000-£80,000 + Bonus + Excellent Benefits

Are you the type of accountant who spots problems before everyone else does?

Can you challenge weak controls, improve processes, and bring clarity to complex financial environments?

We're partnering with a large, well-established business seeking an ambitious Financial Accounting Manager to take ownership of financial control, systems governance, and a high-performing accounting team.

This is far more than a traditional Financial Accounting Manager role.

You'll be the person ensuring the integrity of the numbers, driving month-end performance, strengthening controls, and acting as the link between finance operations, reporting, and systems. You'll have genuine influence on how finance operates moving forward.

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.
