Finance Manager
This isn’t a role for someone who wants to inherit a tidy ledger.
Our client FlexiTog is part of an international group of five European businesses, with operations in the UK, Germany and the Netherlands. The group is headquartered in the US and recently went through acquisition. Now we’re investing properly in our finance function, and the team is being rebuilt from the ground up.
That means new processes. New controls. New reporting. Set by you, not handed to you.
You’ll lead the finance function for the UK entity, working alongside our Group Finance Director to establish what good looks like in a post-acquisition environment. This is a hands-on, build-mode role. You’re shaping the function, not maintaining a mature setup.
You’ll report to Anna Murphy, our Group Finance Director, and partner closely with the UK finance team, UK operational and commercial leadership, and our external auditors. You’ll have real visibility across the group and the chance to shape how finance operates internationally.
Most Finance Manager roles are about maintaining what’s already there. This one’s about building it. Post-acquisition, with group backing and a clear remit, the brief is genuinely to establish what good looks like.
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.
If that excites you more than it scares you, we’d like to hear from you.
Key Responsibilities
- Owning the production and delivery of UK management accounts
- Leading the statutory accounts process and supporting the audit
- Designing and implementing financial controls and processes from scratch
- Tackling existing backlogs and fixing broken processes within UK finance
- Acting as a finance business partner to UK operational and commercial leaders
- Partnering with the Group Finance Director on group consolidation and reporting
Skills, Knowledge and Expertise
You’re a qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA or CIMA) with strong UK management and statutory accounts experience. You’ve built or rebuilt finance processes and controls in change-heavy environments before, and you’re comfortable operating when the path isn’t already paved.
You’re solution-driven, proactive, and you don’t wait to be told what to fix. You spot the gap, design the fix, and bring people with you.
Not required, but great if you have:
- Post-acquisition, integration or transformation finance experience
- Multi-entity, multi-currency or international group exposure
- Familiarity with audit processes for unaudited or partially audited entities
- An additional European language
