- Delivering insightful analysis on business performance, identifying risks and opportunities.
- Supporting budgeting, forecasting and medium-term financial planning.
- Producing monthly performance reporting with clear commentary and actionable recommendations.

- Working collaboratively with Finance, FP&A and operational teams to improve financial accountability.
Ideal Candidate
I'm looking for someone who combines strong technical finance skills with commercial awareness and excellent stakeholder management.
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.

Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You'll ideally have:
- ACA, ACCA or CIMA qualification (or be in the final stages of qualification).
- Previous experience in a Finance Business Partner or commercial finance role.
- Strong analytical skills with the ability to turn complex data into meaningful business insight.
- Advanced Excel skills and experience working with large datasets.
- Excellent communication and influencing skills with the confidence to challenge constructively.
- Experience working in a manufacturing, production or other operationally focused environment.
- A proactive approach with a genuine interest in improving business performance.
Experience with ERP systems would be advantageous but is not essential.
Why Apply?
This is an opportunity to join a business where Finance is viewed as a genuine commercial partner rather than simply a reporting function. You'll have exposure to senior leadership, work on strategic projects, and play a key role in influencing business decisions while developing your own career in a supportive and collaborative environment.
