Position: Commercial Finance Analyst

Job Type: Full-Time, Permanent

Salary: Up to £45,000 per annum


Be part of the next chapter of Life Services Group.

Following the launch of Life Services Group, we're bringing together a unique portfolio of brands and services that support families through some of life's most important moments. From funeral services and crematoria to specialist end-of-life planning and memorialisation businesses, we're building something unlike any other organisation in the UK.

As we continue to evolve, we're looking for a Commercial Finance Analyst to join our Commercial Finance team and help shape the decisions that drive the future of the Group.

This isn't a role where you'll disappear into spreadsheets all day. This is an opportunity to sit at the centre of a growing business, providing the insight, analysis and reporting that senior leaders rely on to make business-critical decisions. Whilst your primary focus will support our Funeral business, you'll also gain exposure across multiple areas of the wider Group, giving you a breadth of experience that few analyst positions can offer.

Why this role is different

Life Services Group operates in a genuinely unique sector.

Our businesses support thousands of families every year through services that matter deeply, making the work both commercially interesting and personally meaningful. Behind every strategic decision, investment, operational improvement and growth opportunity sits data, reporting and insight.

That's where you come in.

You'll help ensure leaders across the Group have the information they need to understand performance, identify opportunities and make informed decisions. Whether analysing trends across our Funeral Operations network, supporting commercial initiatives, improving reporting processes or providing insight into emerging business opportunities, your work will have a direct impact on how the organisation moves forward.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Producing weekly and monthly management reporting that informs key business decisions.
  • Analysing financial and operational performance across a complex multi-site organisation.
  • Supporting commercial initiatives, profitability reviews and business cases.
  • Tracking performance trends, risks and opportunities across multiple business areas.
  • Working closely with Finance, Operations and senior stakeholders across the Group.
  • Improving reporting processes and helping automate recurring reporting activities.
  • Turning large volumes of data into meaningful insight and recommendations.

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.

Death is part of life, and being there for families when it matters is what we do. That means making difficult moments feel more supported, more straightforward and more human.

We are building a modern group that supports families at every stage, from planning ahead with wills and funeral plans, to arranging a funeral, cremation or burial, and managing probate afterwards. This is a defining moment for our business. With stronger foundations, clearer strategy and real momentum, we can change end-of-life care for the better. We are modernising how we work, investing in our colleagues and technology, and helping more families than any one brand could alone.

Wherever you work in Life Services Group, in one of our local teams, specialist brands or group functions, you’ll be part of work with meaningful purpose. You will help families through some of life’s hardest and most important moments.

Across all our brands, we want colleagues to grow with us through better training, stronger support, modern tools and clearer opportunities to build skills and confidence. You’ll be part of teams who care deeply about what they do, look out for each other and take pride in doing work that matters.

You will also help shape the future of end-of-life care. That means making support simpler, more connected and more human for families, while each brand keeps the identity, expertise and community connection people already know and trust.

If you want a career with meaningful purpose, room to grow with us and the chance to shape the future, find your Life’s work.
