Client Details
I'm working exclusively with an innovative, global business who, following continued growth and investment, are looking to appoint a Finance Manager to join their collaborative finance team.
With operations spanning the globe, the business has built a strong reputation within its specialist sector and continues to invest heavily in innovation, technology and future growth.
The finance function supports a complex, international business structure with evolving revenue streams, making this an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys solving problems, challenging existing processes and driving continuous improvement.
Description
Reporting into senior finance leadership, you'll manage a small team while remaining hands-on across the month-end process and financial reporting.
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.
