We're recruiting on behalf of a boutique hospitality business for an experienced Finance Manager / Financial Controller to join their team on an initial 3-month contract, with the potential for extension.

Based in Oxford, this is an excellent opportunity for a hands-on finance professional to support the business through a key period, ensuring robust financial controls, accurate reporting, and the successful delivery of month-end and year-end processes.

Please note this is an initial 3-month contract with the possibility of extension.

The Role:

  • Take ownership of the month-end close process, ensuring timely and accurate financial reporting.
  • Prepare and review balance sheet reconciliations, investigating and resolving any outstanding issues.
  • Oversee management accounts, accruals, prepayments, journals, and variance analysis.
  • Ensure strong financial controls are in place while identifying opportunities to improve processes and reporting.
  • Partner with operational teams to provide financial insight and support commercial decision-making.
  • Support cash flow management, budgeting, and forecasting activities.
  • Review finance processes, identifying efficiencies and implementing improvements where appropriate.
  • Provide leadership and guidance to the finance team while supporting business-critical finance projects as required.

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.
