FP&A Analyst Opportunity

Forge Talent is partnering with an established and growing supply chain business as they look to strengthen their finance team.

The business operates in a fast-paced environment, supporting a broad customer base and a complex supply chain operation. With continued growth and a strong focus on performance and efficiency, this is an exciting opportunity to join a business where finance plays a key role in supporting wider commercial decisions.

They're looking for a commercially minded FP&A Analyst to join the finance team, partnering closely with one of the organisation’s internal teams.

This is a varied role covering budgeting, forecasting, financial modelling, performance analysis and business partnering. You’ll use financial and operational data to understand performance, identify trends and provide insight that helps shape key business decisions.

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.
