Client Details

I'm currently partnering with a fast-growing, PE-backed business in South Cheshire that is looking to appoint a Finance Business Partner to play a key role in its next phase of growth.

Description

A key part of the role will be to build strong working relationships and become the go-to finance contact for senior stakeholders across all central functions, providing support, challenge and visibility around costs to help drive better decision-making and business performance.

  • Own the Group Cost function, including reporting, analysis and business partnering.
  • Lead, develop and support a high-performing finance team.
  • Act as the key finance contact for senior stakeholders across central functions.
  • Manage financial models, rolling forecasts and cost performance reporting.
  • Lead the annual budget and support the 5-year strategic planning process.
  • Drive improvements across finance processes, reporting and controls.
  • Support audits, tax compliance and statutory reporting requirements.
  • Contribute to strategic projects and continuous improvement initiatives.

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.
