Reporting to the FD, you'll own the full financial reporting cycle - monthly management accounts, Group consolidation, year-end statutory accounts and budgeting - across a multi-entity Group structure. You'll manage one Bookkeeper and act as the main point of contact for auditors, banks and regulators.
The role spans the Group's full corporate structure, including several UK and international subsidiaries, and requires someone comfortable navigating different accounting methods and systems, reconciling data from multiple sources and translating complex financial information into clear, actionable insight for senior stakeholders. Strong multi-entity/multi-subsidiary experience is essential.
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.
