Chief Financial Officer

Chief Financial Officer

Private Equity–Backed Manufacturing Group | London | c.£30m Turnover / £5m EBITDA

Our client is a well-established, PE-backed manufacturing business based in London, generating c£30m in annual turnover and £5m EBITDA. Following a period of strong growth, they are seeking a commercially astute CFO to join the leadership team and help drive the next phase of value creation.

The Role

Reporting to the CEO and working closely with the PE investors, you will own the finance function end-to-end — from management reporting and cash management to FP&A, board reporting, and investor relations. You'll play a central role in driving operational efficiency, margin improvement, and strategic decision-making, while also supporting M&A activity and preparing the business for future exit.

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.
