The Opportunity
We are recruiting two Interim Management Accountants to join the finance team of a well-known, market-leading organisation based in Salford.
These roles will offer a varied mix of core management accounting responsibilities alongside supporting a wider finance transformation project. You'll play a key role in ensuring accurate financial reporting while also helping improve the quality and integrity of financial data and processes.
This is an excellent opportunity for an accountant who enjoys both BAU finance and getting involved in process improvement projects.
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.
