Audit Accountant (Day Rate Contract) Reading (Hybrid Working - 3 Days per Week)

£350 - £400 per day (IR35 Status to be Determined)

We're partnering with a leading global organisation to recruit an experienced Audit Accountant on an interim contract basis. This is an excellent opportunity to join a large international business, supporting European audit and accounting activities across multiple entities and jurisdictions.

Working within a collaborative and high-performing finance team, you'll play a key role in managing audit requirements, ensuring compliance, supporting statutory reporting activities, and liaising with both internal and external stakeholders. The position offers exposure to a complex international environment, making it ideal for a qualified accountant with strong audit and financial reporting experience.

Experience within European markets is essential, with exposure to German or Dutch entities highly desirable, although not a prerequisite.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Support and coordinate external and internal audit activities across multiple European entities.
  • Act as a key point of contact for auditors, ensuring timely delivery of audit requirements and responses.
  • Prepare and review audit schedules, supporting documentation, and technical accounting papers.
  • Assist with statutory accounts preparation and financial statement disclosures.
  • Ensure compliance with local accounting standards, corporate policies, and regulatory requirements.
  • Liaise with finance teams across Europe to gather, review, and validate financial information.
  • Investigate and resolve audit findings, control issues, and accounting queries.
  • Support balance sheet reviews, reconciliations, and month-end accounting processes where required.
  • Contribute to process improvements, helping strengthen financial controls and reporting accuracy.
  • Provide technical accounting support to wider finance teams and key stakeholders.

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.
