Finance Manager | Number 2 to the FD | £65k-£70k | Hybrid
I'm working with a growing business in the built environment space to find their next Finance Manager, reporting directly into the Finance Director.
This isn't a standard management accounting role. You'll be the FD's right hand across the full finance function, and there's a genuinely interesting international element: the business is setting up a new subsidiary in the Middle East, which means building the accounting function there from scratch. New systems, new set of books, new software, and getting comfortable with the fact that VAT in the UK and VAT in Dubai are not the same thing.
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.
What you'll be doing:
- Acting as number 2 to the FD across the whole finance function
- Owning day to day financial control and compliance, including some statutory work
- Leading on system and process setup for a new Middle East subsidiary
- Getting genuinely hands on, this includes some data entry as the business reduces reliance on a freelance bookkeeper
- Working alongside a colleague who handles project accounting
What they're looking for:
- Qualified accountant, ideally 1 to 2 years post qualification
- Comfortable with a hands on role, this isn't a role where you sit above the detail
- System implementation experience is a nice to have, not essential
- Experience with multiple jurisdictions is a bonus but not required, what matters more is the ability to approach an unfamiliar jurisdiction with curiosity rather than assumption
- Sector background is genuinely open. Built environment experience helps but the client has said clearly that attitude matters more than industry background
