Sewell Wallis is recruiting for a Management Accountant for a well-established B2B subcontracting business, supporting its divisional portfolio from the Group's Shared Service Centre in Harrogate. This is an excellent opportunity for a finalist or part-qualified accountant to join a collaborative finance team, take ownership of key management accounting responsibilities and play an active role in continuous process improvement, with strong progression and study support available.


Alongside your standard month end reporting, you'll be heavily liaising with multiple entities to review processes, to ensure that all entity reporting is in line with the shared service centre/group expectations. Therefore, you'll need to be really confident with communicating across departments, managing stakeholders, and enjoy project work around compliance and process improvement.


What will you be doing?

  • Assist in the production of accurate and timely management accounts, ensuring they are completed to a high standard and within published timetables.
  • Prepare, review and document monthly balance sheet reconciliations and quarterly VAT returns.
  • Build and maintain effective relationships with divisional finance teams and other Group functions.
  • Support external and internal audit requirements and year-end reporting, identifying opportunities to streamline annual processes into monthly tasks.
  • Review and improve finance processes and controls, supporting the implementation of changes.
  • Maintain, update and document appropriate procedure notes across areas of responsibility.
  • Get involved in key projects across the Finance Team and wider Group.

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.
