Forge Talent are partnering with a high-growth, investor-backed business to recruit a Management Accountant during an exciting period of expansion.
This is an opportunity to join a business that's scaling quickly, where finance is viewed as a genuine commercial partner rather than simply a reporting function. You'll work closely with an experienced Finance Director, gaining exposure to strategic decision-making while taking ownership of core finance responsibilities from the outset.
The business is backed by experienced investors with an impressive history of growing successful companies, and they're building a finance team capable of supporting the next phase of that journey. As the company continues to evolve, there will be plenty of opportunity for someone who wants to broaden their experience, develop commercially and progress into a more senior finance role over time.
Whether you're a newly qualified accountant, approaching qualification, or looking to make your first move from practice, this position offers exposure well beyond traditional month-end accounting. You'll become involved in forecasting, commercial analysis, business planning and projects that directly influence the direction of the 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.
