Role Overview

Reporting directly to the Group Finance Director, this is a hands-on, commercially focused role offering exposure across the full finance function. You will play a pivotal part in budgeting, forecasting, financial analysis, reporting, and business partnering, helping to drive performance and support business growth.

Client Details

My client is a rapidly expanding FMCG business with a strong market presence, ambitious growth plans, and a reputation for delivering high-quality products to customers across the UK.

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.
