Finance Manager
Hybrid (UK-based) | Full-Time
Flexibility on how often you come into the office, as long as you're able to travel to the London office when required.
About Us
Reactive Markets is the 2026 OTC Trading Platform of the Year (Risk.net). Our network handles over $50 billion in daily trading volumes across FX, Equities, and Cryptocurrency, connecting 40+ of the world's leading liquidity providers.
We build trading systems that operate at the edge of what's technically possible — where nanoseconds matter and a dropped message costs real money. Our engineering team is small, senior, and deeply invested in the craft of building cutting edge, reliable, high-performance systems.
The Role
We're looking for a Finance Manager to own the operational management of our finance function — accurate, timely management accounts, statutory accounts oversight, and the processes and controls that keep our finances reliable as we scale. You'll run month-end close, own balance sheet reconciliation and cash flow, lead the team responsible for AR/AP, payroll, VAT, and HMRC processes, and bring the analytical rigour that helps us make good financial decisions as we grow.
You'll also manage external relationships (auditors, solicitors, bankers), support external investment and funding activity, and run accounts across multiple business entities, including regulated entities in different geographies.
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.
