Marc Daniels Specialist Recruitment is partnering with a leading UK environmental and infrastructure organisation to recruit a Senior Finance Analyst to join its finance department.

This is an excellent opportunity for a qualified accountant who enjoys working closely with operational stakeholders, influencing business performance, and providing meaningful financial insight within a commercially focused environment.

  • Management of capital expenditure reporting, forecasting and financial provisions.
  • Leading the annual budgeting, forecasting and long-term planning processes.
  • Producing robust financial analysis to support commercial decision-making and improve business performance.
  • Maintaining strong financial controls through balance sheet reconciliations and compliance with accounting standards and internal policies.
  • Conducting site visits and audits to ensure financial and operational procedures are operating effectively.
  • Supporting year-end audit requirements and responding to requests from Group Finance and external auditors.
  • Working collaboratively with finance and operational teams to drive continuous improvement initiatives and process efficiencies.

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.
