Financial Controller – Transformation (12-month FTC)

Reporting to the Financial Controller, you'll take ownership of month-end close, balance sheet and P&L integrity, and financial controls across a team of 7 (Finance Manager, Senior Finance Analysts, and Finance Graduates). The business is mid-way through a significant ERP transformation, and this role sits at the centre of it - keeping BAU delivery on track while the team adapts to a new system and uses it to strengthen financial controls further.

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.
