Do you enjoy turning complex financial data into clear, meaningful stories? Are you looking for a central finance role with real visibility and impact?
This is a high-impact role within our Central (Head Office) FP&A function, where you’ll take ownership of the Central UK&I Profit & Loss. You’ll be at the heart of the business, driving budgeting, forecasting, and in-depth analysis, partnering with senior stakeholders, and helping shape critical business decisions.

This is a full-time permanent position. You’ll be working Monday to Friday, 09:00 till 17:00 with a requirement to be in our Northampton Head Office 3 days per week. However, some flexibility is required, this is logistics after all!
Pay, benefits and more
We’re looking to offer a salary circa £65,000 per annum, depending on experience plus a car allowance to the value of £450 per calendar month and 25 days annual leave (plus bank holidays). Your benefits package includes a company sponsored pension scheme.

- Owning and managing Central (Head Office) P&L and SG&A reporting for the UK&I region, with a sharp focus on cost drivers and trends
- Leading and supporting budgeting and forecasting cycles across all central departments
- Delivering clear and insightful month-end variance analysis against budget, forecast, and prior year
- Partnering with stakeholders to analyse central cost levers and identify opportunities to optimise financial performance
- Preparing executive-level reports, presentations, and corporate FP&A commentary to support informed decision-making
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.
