Play a key role in strengthening financial control and reporting within a highly respected investment management business.

Based in Edinburgh with hybrid working, this 6-month Fixed-Term Contract offers the opportunity to make an immediate impact within a collaborative finance team, supporting complex financial reporting, statutory accounting and continuous improvement initiatives.

The Opportunity

This is an excellent opportunity for a technically strong finance professional to join a high-performing finance function during a busy period. Working across EMEA entities, you'll support financial reporting, strengthen financial controls, prepare statutory accounts and work closely with auditors and senior stakeholders, while contributing to process improvement initiatives.

Key Responsibilities

  • Support financial reporting and financial control activities across multiple legal entities.
  • Prepare annual reports and statutory financial statements under FRS102.
  • Assist with period-end close and ensure the integrity of the general ledger.
  • Liaise with auditors and external service providers throughout the audit process.
  • Support regulatory and capital reporting requirements.
  • Prepare technical accounting papers where judgement or interpretation is required.
  • Identify opportunities to improve finance processes and strengthen controls.
  • Build strong working relationships with internal stakeholders and global finance teams.

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.
