Looking for your next step in a fast-growing business where you can make a real impact?

An award-winning and rapidly expanding business is looking to recruit a Group Accountant to join its finance team. This is an excellent opportunity for a qualified accountant who enjoys a hands-on reporting role while contributing to process improvements and finance projects within a dynamic environment.

Working closely with the Financial Controller, you'll play a key role in group reporting, statutory accounts, audit coordination and continuous improvement initiatives, with exposure to a broad range of financial responsibilities.

Responsibilities:

As a Group Accountant, you will...

  • Assist with the preparation and review of monthly group management accounts, including journals and balance sheet reconciliations.
  • Support the preparation of statutory accounts and act as a key contact during the annual audit process.
  • Prepare and investigate balance sheet reconciliations, resolving discrepancies in a timely manner.
  • Ensure compliance with group accounting policies, maintaining strong financial controls and governance.
  • Lead and support finance improvement projects, including systems implementations and process enhancements.

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.
