Finance Manager | Recruitment Sector | Chiswick Park, London | Up to £50,000
Us3 Consulting is a specialist IT and technology recruitment consultancy. As we grow, we're looking for a Finance Manager to take ownership of the numbers and help shape the commercial engine behind the business.
The Role
You'll run day-to-day finance for the business, including management accounts, cash flow, billing, commission calculations, and reporting to the Managing Director (MD). You'll also build the processes and controls that scale with us. This is a genuine progression opportunity: as the business grows, so does the role, with a clear path toward Finance Director for the right person.
Responsibilities
- Owning monthly management accounts, budgeting, and cashflow forecasting
- Managing invoicing, credit control, and commission/fee calculations specific to recruitment operations, including multi-currency billing across European markets
- Working closely with the Managing Director on pricing, margin, and commercial decisions
- Building out financial processes, controls, and reporting as the business scales
- Liaising with external accountants on statutory accounts, VAT, and payroll
- Providing financial insight to support expansion into new markets and practice areas
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.
