Hays are working with a well-established Oxfordshire business looking to appoint a Management Accountant into their finance team.

Role Overview

Reporting to the Finance Director, this is a broad role offering exposure across the whole organisation. You'll be responsible for producing the monthly management accounts, supporting budgeting and forecasting, providing commercial analysis and partnering with stakeholders across the business.

It's an opportunity for someone who enjoys getting involved, wants visibility across a growing organisation and is looking for a role where they can genuinely add value rather than just produce numbers.

Key Responsibilities

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.
