Looking for a Financial Controller role where you can make a genuine impact?

We're partnering with a growing, multi-site business to appoint a commercially minded Financial Controller. Reporting to the CFO, you'll lead the finance function, manage and develop a high-performing team, and play a key role in driving financial performance and supporting strategic decision-making across the business.

The Role

This is a broad, hands-on position, offering plenty of variety and the opportunity to influence the wider business. Responsibilities include:

  • Leading and developing the finance team.
  • Delivering accurate monthly management accounts and financial reporting.
  • Managing budgeting, forecasting, and cash flow.
  • Maintaining robust financial controls and ensuring statutory compliance.
  • Partnering with operational leaders to provide commercial insight and support decision-making.
  • Driving process improvements and enhancing finance systems.

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.
