FP&A Analyst
£45,000 | Chepstow | Hybrid 2 days onsite PW
Are you looking for more forecasting. More analysis. More exposure to how the business actually uses financial information to make decisions.
This could be a really interesting next step.
We’re hiring an FP&A Analyst to join a growing finance team at a point where the FP&A function itself is evolving. This isn’t a finished, perfectly polished reporting environment and that’s part of the opportunity.
Initially, there will be plenty of hands-on work. You’ll be getting into the detail, working with data from different areas of the business, preparing reports and board packs, supporting budgets and forecasts and helping improve how information is pulled together and presented.
What you'll be getting involved in:
- Weekly and month-end FP&A reporting
- Preparing and populating board and management reporting packs
- Supporting annual budgets and ongoing forecasting
- Bringing together sales forecasts and operational inputs from across the business
- Extracting, manipulating and making sense of data from different systems
- Variance analysis and supporting commentary
- Improving existing reports and reporting processes
- Supporting financial models and scenario analysis
- Working with stakeholders to gather information and understand what's driving the numbers
- Gradually taking on more value-add analysis as the reporting environment develops
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.

Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Why you're a good match
You’ve got the grades and the economics background, and your bank internship is exactly the experience this scheme looks for. Apply soon — deadlines close within the month.
Experience fit
Your summer at the bank plus your econometrics coursework map directly to the day-one responsibilities on this scheme — client modelling, market briefings, and deal support.
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.
There is a big systems and data element to this role, so you'll need to be someone who genuinely enjoys getting into the detail. If you can take a messy set of data, work out what's going on and turn it into something useful, you'll probably enjoy this.
The progression is here and its real.
As the FP&A structure and reporting processes develop, the role should naturally move away from some of the more manual reporting and towards deeper analysis, forecasting and commercial support.

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Longer term, there is genuine scope for this person to develop towards Finance Business Partnering.
You don't need to be an established FP&A Analyst or FBP already. This could suit a Management Accountant, Finance Analyst or part/newly qualified accountant who's ready to move away from purely producing the numbers and wants more exposure to budgeting, forecasting, modelling and analysis.
You'll ideally be strong with Excel, comfortable working with imperfect data, systems-minded and, most importantly, curious about what the numbers are actually telling you.
If you're getting a little tired of the same month-end cycle and wondering what the next step could look like, I'd love to chat so please apply immediately.
