Financial Controller Opportunity

I am currently recruiting for a Financial Controller to join a purpose-led property development company at an exciting stage of its growth. Reporting directly to the Finance Director, this is a newly created position offering the opportunity to play a key role in shaping the finance function.

This role offers an excellent blend of hands-on financial control, commercial finance, and strategic FP&A. Alongside leading the day-to-day finance team, you'll drive budgeting, forecasting, and business planning, while helping to build a high-performing, commercially focused finance function.

Key Responsibilities

  • Leading the month-end process across multiple entities, ensuring robust financial controls and accurate reporting
  • Producing monthly management accounts, financial reports, variance analysis, and insightful commentary
  • Managing treasury activities, including cash flow forecasting and banking relationships
  • Leading the annual budgeting process, alongside regular forecasting and scenario planning
  • Supporting long-term business planning through financial modelling and strategic analysis
  • Developing meaningful KPI reporting to provide clear insight into business performance
  • Monitoring project expenditure against approved budgets and reviewing development appraisals
  • Partnering closely with development and operational teams to provide commercial challenge and financial insight
  • Preparing statutory accounts and coordinating the annual external audit
  • Leading, mentoring, and developing the finance team, fostering a more commercially focused culture
  • Identifying opportunities to streamline processes, improve controls, and drive automation across the finance function
  • Building strong relationships across the business to support informed decision-making

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.
