Finance Analyst | Leicester | £50,000 + Bonus + Benefits

If you’re the person people turn to when a dashboard needs rebuilding, a model needs improving or a manual process needs automating, this could be a really good fit.

We’re working on a confidential search for a well-known business in Leicester that wants to significantly improve how its finance team uses data, reporting, and technology.

This is not a traditional Financial Analyst role and you do not need to be an accountant or have a formal finance qualification.

The Focus

The focus is on data, Power BI, modelling, automation, and AI.

You’ll work with large and sometimes complex datasets, building models and dashboards that give senior leadership clearer and more useful information. You’ll improve existing reporting, reduce manual processes, and help the wider team make better use of the technology available to them.

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.

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.

A big part of the role will be understanding what the business needs and then building something that works properly. That could mean developing a new Power BI dashboard, improving the structure of a model, automating a repetitive reporting process, or finding a clearer way to present a complicated set of data.

You’ll also become the go-to person across the team for Power BI and advanced Excel, helping colleagues improve their own capability and raising the overall standard of reporting.

There is a genuine opportunity to explore how AI can be used across the function too. They are not looking for someone who already has every answer, but they do want somebody curious, technically capable, and keen to test new ideas.

What They’re Looking For

You’ll need excellent Power BI and Excel skills, experience building models and dashboards, and the confidence to work with large datasets.

You could currently be working in data analytics, business intelligence, commercial analysis, reporting, or FP&A. Experience within finance would be useful, but it is not essential.

More important is your ability to understand a problem, work through the data, and build a practical solution that improves the quality or efficiency of reporting.

This is a confidential search. Get in touch directly or apply to find out more.
