The Role
We are looking for a proactive and ambitious Finance Manager to join a growing finance team and take ownership of the operational finance function.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys getting into the detail, improving processes and taking ownership in an environment that is still developing. The current AP and AR processes are manual and fragmented, creating a genuine opportunity for the successful candidate to make a tangible impact.
You will manage the AP and AR functions, lead the operational finance team and work closely with the wider finance team and transformation resource to improve systems, controls and processes. Over time, the role will broaden into a wider Finance Manager remit, providing a clear pathway towards a Financial Controller-type position.
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.
Key Responsibilities
- Take ownership of the AP and AR functions and manage the operational finance team.
- Oversee billing, supplier payments and outsourced payroll.
- Manage customer, supplier and internal stakeholder queries and escalations.
- Improve finance processes, controls and reconciliations.
- Identify opportunities to automate and reduce manual processes.
- Work alongside the transformation resource to deliver finance improvements.
- Support audit activities and liaise with HMRC where required.
- Coach and develop the AP and AR team.
- Take on broader finance responsibilities as the role develops.
About You
We are more interested in your attitude, curiosity and ambition than simply your years of experience.
You will be proactive, comfortable with ambiguity and willing to get into the detail to understand how processes and systems work. You will take ownership, communicate confidently and be comfortable managing stakeholders across the business.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
A recently qualified accountant or candidate with 1–2 years PQE could be considered, alongside candidates from audit or practice looking to move into a hands-on operational finance role. Most importantly, you will want to make a difference, improve the way finance operates and develop into a broader finance leadership position.
What's on Offer
This is a genuine development opportunity where you will have the autonomy to improve an imperfect finance operation and see the impact of your work. The intention is for the role to evolve beyond day-to-day operations, giving you exposure to wider finance and a clear route towards a Financial Controller-level position.
