Finance Director | £15m → £50m Growth Journey | c.£125 salary (negotiable)
About the Role
Build the financial strategy behind a high-growth, purpose-led design and procurement business.
This FD role isn't about reporting on growth - it's helping create it.
We’re partnering with an ambitious, founder-led business operating across design, interiors and specialist procurement. Already successful in its market, the business has a clear ambition to grow from c.£15m to £50m over the next five years.
The incoming Finance Director will play a central role in making this happen.
Why this business?
Growth with purpose
This is a business with genuine commercial momentum, but its ambitions don't come at the expense of its values. It is B Corp certified, with sustainability and responsible sourcing embedded into the business model and proposition. Environmental responsibility is a genuine competitive differentiator and an important part of where the company is heading, and is winning them significant market share. They are serious about sustainability, with a Head of Sustainability having an important voice in the small leadership team.
A genuinely interesting industry
This isn't a conventional corporate environment. The business sits within the design and interiors sector, working across an increasingly sophisticated market and at the intersection of creativity, procurement and sustainability.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
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.
Entrepreneurial leadership
You'll work directly with the founders and leadership team in a business where your judgement will be heard. This is a role for someone who wants to challenge, influence and shape decisions, rather than simply provide financial information after the decisions have been made.
A great place to work
The business has a bright, collaborative and entrepreneurial culture, right in the heart of London's design community. It's a setting that impresses, that reflects the character of the business: creative, ambitious and forward-thinking.
The Role
You'll take ownership of the financial strategy and become a key member of the leadership team. Your remit will include:
- Supporting and shaping the £15m → £50m growth strategy
- Commercial planning and decision-making
- Financial planning, forecasting and performance
- Cash flow and working capital
- Profitability and commercial insight
- Building scalable financial infrastructure, controls and reporting
- Providing strategic challenge to the founders and leadership team
This is a highly visible, hands-on strategic role with genuine scope to shape how the business scales.

We're looking for a chartered accountant with c.5–7 years PQE who has demonstrable experience operating in and supporting the significant growth of an SME.

Experience in design, interiors, sustainability, environmental or another purpose-led sector would be beneficial but not essential. An interest in sustainability and environmental impact is highly desirable to culturally and strategically align with the business.
This is not a role for a purely technical accountant or someone looking for a passive FD position. We're looking for someone with a track record, bright, sharp, commercially minded and influential who wants to and can make a tangible difference.
The Opportunity
- £15m → £50m ambition.
- B Corp certified.
- Sustainability at the heart of the proposition.
- A genuinely interesting, design-led industry.
- Direct access to ambitious founders.

- A genuine seat at the leadership table.
If you're an FD who thrives on building, influencing and shaping the future of a business then please apply and we will be in touch for a confidential chat. Else, if you know someone that could be interested we welcome and reward referrals.
