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.
In addition, you will oversee finance processes, strengthen controls, manage and develop team members, and support wider business operations including HR administration, property-related projects, and key strategic initiatives.
What you'll need to succeed
To succeed in this role, you will need strong all-round finance experience, ideally gained within an SME, owner-managed, or multi-entity environment. You should be comfortable operating at both strategic and hands-on levels, with the ability to build processes, improve reporting, manage cash flow, support budgeting, and provide meaningful commercial analysis to senior stakeholders.
You will be confident working independently, able to challenge and support operational teams, and capable of bringing structure, accuracy, and control to a growing business. Experience of management accounts, statutory compliance, forecasting, financial modelling, team management, and process improvement will be highly beneficial.
You will ideally be a fully qualified accountant or have significant and demonstrable experience in a similar role.

What you'll get in return
In return, you will be offered a competitive salary of £55-60,000, full private medical package, 25 days annual leave (+ bank holidays), matched pension contribution of up to 10%, and free on-site parking. This is a full-time role, working 40 hours a week between Monday and Friday, but the exact working pattern can be flexible for the right person. Ideally, this role will be site-based but 1 day working remotely may be accommodated.
