About The Role

Volta is a pre-revenue AI infrastructure company scaling rapidly across five countries after a major Series A. Our finance team is small, senior and hands-on - and we need a strong all-round accountant to keep the core running as volume grows.

As General Accountant you will handle the day-to-day accounting across our entities: processing, journals, reconciliations, VAT and month-end tasks, currently in Xero and soon in a group ERP. You will work directly with the VP Accounting and SSC Reporting Manager, with genuine exposure to everything from multi-currency banking to equity accounting.

This is an ideal role for someone early in their career who wants breadth, responsibility and a front-row seat to a finance function being built for a US listing.

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.
