Yolk Recruitment is proud to be partnering with Valleys to Coast to recruit two Management Accountants

Yolk Recruitment is proud to be partnering with Valleys to Coast to recruit two Management Accountants to join their Finance team on an initial 3-month temporary contract. These roles have genuine long-term potential, with the opportunity to apply for permanent positions while working in the temporary assignment.

Why join Valleys to Coast?

Valleys to Coast is entering an exciting period of growth as it delivers its ambitious corporate strategy. With continued investment across the business, there are significant opportunities for career development and progression.

You'll be joining a highly regarded Finance team with exceptionally low staff turnover, where people enjoy working collaboratively and are encouraged to develop professionally. The organisation is also preparing to implement a new finance system, giving you the chance to get involved in a major transformation project alongside your day-to-day responsibilities.

The Role

As a Management Accountant, you'll act as a true Finance Business Partner, working closely with managers and teams across the organisation. You'll build relationships with non-financial stakeholders, helping them understand budgets, challenge performance, identify risks and opportunities, and support informed decision-making.

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.
