KennedyPearce are currently hiring a Junior Finance Manager

This role suits a part-qualified accountant looking to join a growing, multi-brand, service-led business in Central London. Reporting to the Financial Controller, this is a broad, hands-on finance role responsible for management reporting, financial operations, forecasting, cash flow, and maintaining strong financial controls.

The successful candidate will be comfortable working across both management accounting and transactional finance, with excellent attention to detail and the ability to communicate financial information clearly to non-finance stakeholders.

Key Responsibilities

  • Prepare weekly KPI reporting and monthly management accounts.
  • Analyse P&L performance against budget, prior year and forecast.
  • Complete and review balance sheet reconciliations.
  • Support budgeting and forecasting processes.
  • Manage cash flow reporting and monitor expected receipts and payments.
  • Oversee revenue recognition, including deferred income and multi-period services.
  • Prepare VAT returns and supporting reconciliations.
  • Manage overdue customer balances and support cash collection.
  • Maintain accurate fixed asset records and reporting.
  • Ensure data accuracy and integrity within the accounting system.
  • Monitor finance policies, approval processes and internal controls.
  • Support year-end audit and statutory reporting requirements.
  • Provide finance guidance and support to non-finance teams.
  • Assist with transactional finance activities during busy periods, including supplier invoices, customer invoicing, bank reconciliations, payment runs and expenses.

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.
