Your new company

A well-established international organisation with a significant presence in Belfast is seeking a qualified Management Accountant to join its finance team. This is an excellent opportunity to join a growing and highly successful business offering exposure to senior stakeholders, international operations, and long-term career development within a supportive and collaborative environment.

Your new role

Reporting to the Financial Controller, you will play a key role in the preparation and delivery of monthly management accounts, budgeting, forecasting, statutory reporting and financial analysis. You will support month-end processes, prepare board reporting packs, monitor performance against budgets, and provide insightful financial information to support business decision-making. You will also contribute to process improvement initiatives, ensure compliance with financial controls and regulations, and support the development of a high-performing finance function.

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.
