Management Accountant
Leicester | £45,000 – £50,000 + Study Support
Predominantly onsite | Hybrid working can be discussed
Are you a part-qualified accountant looking for a role where you can genuinely develop into a well-rounded commercial finance professional?
We’re working with a successful SME in Leicester, which forms part of a wider group, to recruit a Management Accountant into a key position within their finance team.
About the Role
Reporting directly to the Finance Director, this is a fantastic opportunity for someone who has built a solid grounding in management accounting but is now looking for greater exposure, responsibility and mentorship as they progress towards qualification.
You’ll work closely with an experienced FD who is keen to invest time into your development, giving you exposure not only to the core management accounts process but also budgeting, forecasting, commercial analysis and interaction with stakeholders across the wider 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.

Key Responsibilities
- Preparing monthly management accounts, including P&L, balance sheet and cash flow analysis

- Analysing performance against budget, forecast and prior-year results
- Investigating variances and providing meaningful commentary to management
- Supporting the annual budgeting and forecasting processes

Requirements
Ideally, you’ll be studying towards ACCA, CIMA or ACA and already have experience within a management accounting or similar role.


Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
You don’t need to be the finished article. More important is having a strong grounding in finance, a willingness to learn and the ambition to develop beyond traditional month-end accounting into a broader, more commercially focused position.
Benefits
Alongside a salary of £45,000 – £50,000, study support will be available to help you complete your professional qualification.
The role is ideally based onsite in Leicester, particularly given the level of exposure and mentorship available, although hybrid working can be discussed for the right candidate.
Most importantly, this is an opportunity to join a successful business where you can work directly with the Finance Director, continue your professional studies and develop into a considerably broader finance role over time.
