Finance Manager

I'm working with a London-based small-batch coffee roaster that supplies restaurants and cafés across the city, alongside its own cafés, export and e-commerce channels. Ethical sourcing and sustainability sit at the centre of how they trade, and the culture values honesty, ownership and fairness.

They're looking for a hands-on Finance Manager to run the day-to-day finance function, reporting to the Finance Director and leading a team of two.

What you'll do

  • Own month-end and deliver management accounts with commentary and variance analysis against budget
  • Review journals, reconciliations and control accounts, keeping the balance sheet clean
  • Own the weekly cash flow forecast, approve payment runs and manage working capital
  • Oversee stock valuation and run quarterly stock audits
  • Produce monthly sales and margin reporting across wholesale, cafés, export and e-commerce
  • Partner with Commercial, Operations and the Exec team on budgets, forecasts and performance
  • Lead the external audit and stay on top of VAT, payroll and statutory compliance
  • Coach and develop two finance juniors
  • Improve processes and systems across Xero, Shopify and other business related systems

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.
