Your new company

An exciting opportunity has arisen to join a fast-growing and entrepreneurial property business that is expanding its portfolio across the residential and hospitality sectors. Operating within a dynamic, multi-entity environment, the organisation is investing heavily in its finance function and is seeking a commercially-minded Management Accountant to provide high-quality financial reporting and insight that will support continued growth and strategic decision-making.

Your new role

Reporting to the Financial Controller, you will take ownership of the monthly management accounts process across a number of entities, producing accurate financial reporting, variance analysis, and KPI reporting. You'll play a key role in monitoring development and operational performance, preparing journals, accruals, and balance sheet reconciliations, while supporting budgeting and forecasting activities.

The role will also involve working closely with operational teams to analyse revenue performance, monitor expenditure against budgets, reconcile transactional data, manage intercompany balances, and support audit, VAT, and compliance requirements. This is a broad position offering exposure to both operational finance and project-based accounting within a growing business.

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.
