Financial Controller, Activation/Influencer Agency, part-time/flexi perm role
We have an exceptional role for an experienced FM/FC/HOF to own their island, and lead the financial stewardship of an exciting and scaling marketing agency.
No day will be the same, and you will be needed to own and tackle a real range of tasks, potentially some you were doing a few years ago.
The benefit being a role, and team you can build in your own mold with prospects to grow with the founder and agency as they do.
The role
This is a newly created, hands-on role to bring our day-to-day finance function in-house. You’ll run the engine room: keeping the books accurate and up to date in Xero, managing cash and supplier payments tightly, and ensuring everything is reconciled and month-end ready.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
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.

- Month end ownership & presentation to the Founder
- Support the CFO on team / project profitability
- Daily finance operations via zero
