Management Accountant

Element Recruitment is delighted to be partnering with a well-established yet evolving business as they look to appoint a Management Accountant to join their growing team.

Working closely with the Financial Controller, this role will have full oversight of daily, monthly, and quarterly management reporting. You will support the budgeting and forecasting processes, manage the fixed asset register, and deliver value-add analysis, with a view to progressing into a more business-facing, strategic partnering role over time. You will also play a key role in the company’s modernisation project as they upgrade systems, refine processes, and build their AI capabilities.

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.
