About the Role
RECfinancial are currently shortlisting for an Interim Financial Accountant on behalf of a forward-thinking and growing Leicester based client. This is an excellent opportunity for a technically strong accountant to take ownership of the balance sheet and play a key role in delivering high-quality financial reporting and controls.
Role Responsibilities
Reporting into the Head of Finance, the Financial Accountant will be responsible for ensuring the integrity of financial reporting, maintaining robust controls, and supporting both month-end and year-end processes. You will take full ownership of the balance sheet whilst also providing a full financial insight to support wider business decision-making. Ideally you will be immediately available or on a short notice period.
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.
