Your new company

Join a professional services firm with a strong presence in Belfast, offering a hybrid working model and a collaborative, high-performing environment. This is a unique opportunity to be part of a dynamic finance team that supports strategic decision-making and drives financial excellence across the business.

Your new role

As a Senior Accountant, you will play a key role in delivering insightful financial reporting and analysis. You'll coordinate the reporting of financial results, support budgeting and forecasting processes, and provide in-depth analysis to drive performance improvements. You'll also work closely with business leaders, offering financial guidance and ensuring the integrity of local accounting records. This role includes involvement in statutory accounts, payroll support, and finance-related projects, with a strong focus on cost management and continuous improvement.

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.
