Management Accountant/Finance Manager
Salary: £40k-50k depending on experience
Location: Warwick
An established, privately owned business specialising in data collection from many different companies and organisations is looking for a Management Accountant to take ownership of its finance function.
A well-respected business and successful in their field. It is a stable, well-run group. This is the number one finance role on site. You will report directly to the Directors and be trusted to run the numbers, produce the management accounts, and keep the office side of the business moving. The current post holder is leaving, so there is a proper handover available for the right person.
It is a hands-on role. You will be preparing the accounts yourself rather than reviewing someone else's, alongside a supporting office and administration element.
What You'll Be Doing
- Management Accounting
- Producing quarterly and year-end management accounts, P&L, and balance sheet
- Accruals, prepayments, journals, and control account reconciliation
- Fixed asset schedules and depreciation
- Cash flow forecasting, cost forecasting, and agreeing payment runs
- Preparing reporting packs and commentary for the Directors
- Supporting the Directors on budgeting, forecasting, and commercial decisions
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.
