We're looking for a proactive and hands-on Finance Manager to join one of our flagship workplace hospitality contracts. This is a highly visible business partnering role where you'll work alongside operational leaders, using financial insight to drive commercial decisions, improve performance and support a dynamic, customer-focused operation.

You'll enjoy turning data into action, identifying opportunities for growth and efficiency, and working collaboratively with stakeholders to deliver measurable results.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Partner with operational leaders to provide commercial financial insight and challenge.
  • Lead budgeting, forecasting and monthly management reporting.
  • Analyse financial performance, identify trends and recommend practical solutions.
  • Monitor KPIs including revenue, margin, labour, stock and costs.
  • Maintain strong financial controls, governance and compliance.
  • Support business improvement projects, change initiatives and strategic decision-making.
  • Build strong relationships with finance and operational teams, helping drive a culture of continuous improvement.

About You

You'll be a commercially focused accountant with excellent analytical skills and a passion for business partnering.

You'll Have

  • ACA, ACCA or CIMA qualification (or equivalent experience).
  • Strong management accounting, budgeting and forecasting experience.
  • Experience partnering with operational or non-finance stakeholders.
  • Excellent communication and influencing skills.
  • Advanced Excel skills and confidence working with financial reporting tools.
  • A proactive, solutions-focused approach with the ability to work in a fast-paced environment.

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.
