Financial Controller

Financial Controller (Part-Time) – Premium Consumer Brand

We are partnering with an exciting and fast-growing premium consumer brand to recruit a hands-on Financial Controller on a part-time basis (3 days per week).

This is a fantastic opportunity for a commercially minded finance professional who enjoys working closely with founders in entrepreneurial SME environments.

You will take full ownership of the finance function and act as the go-to finance person within the business, delivering clear financial visibility and providing commercial insight to leadership.

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.
