Finance Manager
Salary: Up to £75,000
Bonus: Up to 10%
Location: Nottingham
Working pattern: On-site, 5 days per week
Pension: 6% employer contribution
Progression: Genuine route to Finance Director
Some finance roles are difficult to make sound interesting.
This one isn’t.
We’re recruiting for a highly profitable, privately owned Nottingham business operating in a genuinely interesting specialist sector, with a number of different revenue streams and a strong track record of growth.
It’s a relatively small organisation, which is exactly what makes the role attractive. You won’t be one person in a finance team of 30. You’ll be close to the numbers, close to the Managing Director and close to the decisions.
The role
You’ll join as Finance Manager, working alongside the existing Finance Director, who is retiring at the end of Q1 2027, as part of a planned succession.
There will be a strong handover period, giving you time to understand the business properly before taking on more responsibility.
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.
The role is a mix of hands-on finance and commercial partnering, including:
- Management accounts, budgeting and forecasting
- Cash flow and financial control
- Statutory reporting and audit
- Payroll and wider finance operations
- Company secretarial and governance responsibilities
- Commercial support to the Managing Director
- Oversight of one experienced Credit Controller
There will also be exposure to wider areas such as acquisitions, shareholders and broader commercial decisions.
What we’re looking for
You must be fully qualified ACA, ACCA or CIMA.
The ideal background would be someone who enjoys both sides of finance:
- Comfortable getting into the detail
- Strong on management accounting and financial control
- Commercial enough to partner an MD
- Happy working in a smaller business where finance touches almost everything
- Ambitious enough to want the top job eventually
You don’t need to have done every element of the role before. What matters more is having strong foundations, curiosity and the confidence to pick up new areas.

The progression
This is where the role gets particularly interesting.
There is a genuine route to Finance Director / Executive Director within the next three years, and it could be significantly quicker for the right individual.
There is also the opportunity to obtain shares in the business at a later date.
Package
- Up to £75,000 salary
- Up to 10% bonus
- 6% employer pension contribution
- 25 days’ holiday with the option to buy a further 5
- Private medical insurance
- Death in service and permanent disability cover
- Free parking
If you’re looking for another Finance Manager role where you own month-end and produce a board pack, there are plenty of those around.
If you want something broader, more commercial and with a genuine succession plan attached to it, this is worth a conversation.
