Finance Analyst

Exeter, Devon

£30,000 - £32,000 per annum

Our client, a successful and established organisation, is seeking an experienced Group Finance Analyst to join their finance team on a full-time, permanent basis.

As Group Finance Analyst, you’ll support accounts payable and receivable, ensuring accurate records, effective cash flow management, and strong supplier and customer relationships. You’ll also contribute to month-end, financial reporting, process improvements, and wider finance projects in a collaborative, forward-thinking team.

This is an excellent opportunity for a detail-focused finance professional to take ownership of a varied transactional finance function, with particular responsibility for supporting the wider group's international operations.

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.
