Finance Manager

Plymouth, Devon
£40,000 - £45,000 per annum

Our client, based in Plymouth is currently seeking a motivated Finance Manager to join their team on a full-time, permanent basis.

This is a varied role, ideal for someone who enjoys working across different areas of finance and is confident managing deadlines, maintaining accurate financial records and supporting the wider business with meaningful financial information.

You don't need to be an expert in every system - experience with Xero is not essential, as training can be provided. What matters most is a strong understanding of finance processes, attention to detail and a can-do approach.

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.
