Finance Manager

Cheltenham
Part-time - 20 hours per week
Up to £40K full-time equivalent

This successful Cheltenham SME is seeking an experienced Finance Manager to oversee the day-to-day finance function. The role requires someone who enjoys the variety that comes with working in a smaller business and can turn their hands to most things. We’re after someone who likes to be busy, is happy to roll up their sleeves and can easily switch between running the finance function to carrying out more administrative tasks. You’ll be joining at an exciting time of growth following the company’s recent acquisition.

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.
