The Opportunity

A high-growth, private equity-backed business is seeking a Finance Manager to join its expanding finance team based in Dudley. Following significant investment, the group has experienced rapid growth through a combination of organic expansion and acquisitions, creating an exciting opportunity for an ambitious qualified accountant to play a key role in the next stage of the journey.

  • Improving finance processes, controls and reporting accuracy across the group

  • Assisting in the development of a robust financial control environment to support continued growth

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.
