About Us
The Good Food Group is a rapidly scaling FMCG retail sales agency working with 40+ brand partners and the UK's biggest grocers. We're not a consultancy — we're a consolidation point between brands and major retailers, managing complex supply chains, developing new products, and building our own brand portfolio. We've had a great financial year, doubling our revenue this financial year with the expectation to do the same next year also. We're looking for someone to help us build a finance function that matches our ambition.
The Role
You'll take end-to-end ownership of our operational finance function. This isn't a back-office admin role — you'll be the CEO's right hand on cash management, the trusted voice on financial controls, and the problem-solver when complex retailer relationships create accounting questions.
Your responsibilities include:
- Managing the complete sales and purchase ledgers across multiple brands and retailers
- Running weekly payment cycles while maintaining rigorous reconciliation controls
- Leading month-end close and producing the financial reports that drive business decisions
- Working with Xero, NetEDI, Hubdoc and a suite of retailer portals
- Building trusted relationships with retailers, suppliers, brands and our external accountants
- Identifying process improvements and building documentation that scales with us
- Providing daily financial support across the business
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.
This role combines technical finance knowledge, operational ownership, and the kind of commercial thinking that comes from understanding how cash actually flows through a growing business.
Who You Are
You've got solid finance, bookkeeping, or accounts experience. You know Xero or similar systems inside out. You're a reconciliation person — you see a balance sheet and you want to understand every line. You prioritize accuracy, manage competing deadlines, and work independently with good judgment. You communicate clearly with non-finance stakeholders. You probably have Excel skills that go beyond the basics.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Ideally, you've worked in FMCG, wholesale, retail accounting, or with invoice factoring. If you've done month-end reporting or management accounts, even better. But the most important thing is that you're proactive, reliable, and take ownership.
What We Offer
- Hybrid / remote role: work from home across the UK with office visits 1-2 days per week (Office based in Nottinghamshire)
- Salary: £32–36k based on experience
- A growing company where your contribution is visible and valued
- The chance to build finance processes from the ground up as we scale
- Working directly with leadership on commercial strategy and decisions
