Application Deadline: Recruitment is ongoing. Please apply as soon as possible as the advert may close once we have sufficient applicants.

The role: We are looking for a Finance Graduate to be based in our Reading office, joining our 2027 Graduate Programme (Autumn 2027 start). As a Finance Graduate, you will form part of a dynamic and sociable regional team.

During the initial two years, you will gain exposure to diverse areas within finance, including Financial Accounting, Commercial Finance, Project Accounting, Tax, Accounts Payable and Credit Control. In the final year, you'll specialise in one of the rotational areas tailored to your interests and our business needs. Please note, that some rotations will require travel between the Reading and Warrington offices. This travel will be reimbursed and is essential to provide you with hands-on learning opportunities and direct interaction with team members.

• An Adapter: Able to remain calm in new situations, comfortably switching between a variety of dynamic and exciting tasks.
• A Multi-Tasker: Thinking about more than one task at a time, while still having an eye for detail.
• A Problem-Solver: You’ll love to give your thoughts based on what you see, being unafraid to challenge conventional thinking.
• A Striver: Exhibiting ownership, consistently delivering on tasks and objectives. You’ll be motivated and proactive in your tasks, having the desire to make a real difference.
