Director of FP&A | PE Backed | Salary £125,000 - £150,000 + bonus and benefits
I am currently partnering with a PE backed SaaS company who are looking for a Director of FP&A to come and join a growing team. This is a very exciting opportunity to join a business which is growing massively and looking to go through an exit within the next 3-4 years. This isn't a standard FP&A role but one where you will be driving the strategy of the business with the opportunity to learn from a seasoned CFO before stepping up.
Board & Management Reporting
- Own the production of monthly board reporting packs, ensuring accuracy, timeliness and narrative clarity for PE owners and senior stakeholders
- Deliver CARR and ARR reporting, sales pipeline analysis and SaaS KPI metrics including retention rates, churn and upsell performance
- Track and communicate risks and opportunities across the business, providing actionable insights to the CFO and c-suite
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.
