Finance Manager - £80-85k - Central London (Hybrid)

We are partnering with a highly regarded international professional services organisation to recruit a Finance Manager. This is a broad and commercially focused role, combining financial control, reporting, planning, and business partnering within a fast-paced, people-led environment.

Reporting into senior finance leadership, you will take ownership of the UK finance function's month-end close, statutory and tax compliance, budgeting and forecasting processes, while providing meaningful insight to support business performance and decision-making.

The Opportunity

This role offers a unique blend of technical accounting, financial control, and commercial finance responsibility. You'll work closely with senior stakeholders across the business, helping drive performance through insightful analysis, robust controls, and proactive business partnering.

Key Responsibilities

Financial Control & Reporting

  • Lead the month-end close process and produce monthly management accounts
  • Deliver insightful variance analysis against budget, forecast, and prior year performance
  • Maintain balance sheet integrity, including ownership of reconciliations and controls
  • Manage fixed assets and oversee WIP monitoring and recovery processes

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.
