And it’s not just us saying it’s a great place to work.
We’ve been recognised as a Sunday Times Best Companies to Work For 2025 and 2026, with employee engagement scores 6% higher than the industry average. That means our people feel heard, supported and set up to succeed — and we work hard to keep it that way.
The role
Every great business need people who can turn numbers into meaningful decisions.
We're looking for a Management Accountant to join our Finance team at Burger King UK. This is an opportunity to take ownership of key financial reporting, partner with teams across the business and provide the insight that helps shape commercial decisions.
We're looking for someone who's already built solid experience in a similar Management Accountant role and is fully qualified in their ACCA or CIMA qualification (or almost there). Additionally, having a couple of years work experience in a similar role. You'll be someone who can quickly become a trusted member of the team, bringing both technical expertise and commercial thinking from day one.
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.
