Pearse Professionals are working with a PE backed FinTech firm with an interim Assistant Accountant hire to take ownership of its transactional finance and month-end processes during a busy period. It's a standalone role reporting directly to the Group Financial Controller, so you'll have full ownership of AP, AR and bank reconciliations, plus a real say in how the function runs. The culture is proactive and collaborative, and they want someone who gets stuck in from day one.
What you'll own
- End-to-end AP and AR: invoice and payment processing through automated AP software, invoicing, collections, cash application and bad debt review
- Weekly multi-currency, multi-entity bank reconciliations, with queries resolved quickly
- Cash management support, including planning weekly payment runs with the GFC
- Employee expense and corporate card processing, kept compliant with policy
- Fixed asset register across multiple entities: additions, disposals, depreciation and audit support
- Prepayments end to end, from identification through to amortisation in line with close
- Monthly balance sheet reconciliations across AP, AR, prepayments, FAR and intercompany
- Automation and process improvement, including using LLMs to draft first-pass commentary on reconciliation variances and to streamline recurring supplier queries
Reasons to use Rodeo

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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

- Highly analytical, proactive, and happy taking full ownership of the quality of your work
- Comfortable juggling competing priorities and tight deadlines without dropping precision
- Strong interpersonal skills and confidence working across departments and with senior stakeholders
- Excel proficiency; NetSuite or Xero, automated AP tools (Pivot, Tipalti, Ramp) and billing engines like Stripe are helpful but not essential
