Financial Controller with succession to Head of Finance – Leeds
£80,000–£90,000
You’re not looking. But this one will make you think twice.
Some businesses grow. A few businesses scale. But once in a while, you find a business that’s alive.
This business is built on energy, ambition and a refusal to play small. They have created brands people recognise and are entrepreneurial, fast-moving with momentum, personality and pace, and they want someone who can help steer it.
This is a company that backs ideas, moves quickly, and thrives on people who bring challenge, insight and energy. And now they’re looking for a Financial Controller who can match that ambition and oversee a small team to build confidence and capability.
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.
About the Role
You will be the person who brings clarity, challenge and commercial edge to a business and support the CFO. You will own the numbers end-to-end, every site, every P&L, every dashboard and you will be the voice in the room who helps shape decisions, not just report on them.
You’ll lead the rhythm of performance across the estate: weekly insight, monthly reviews, site accountability, and the conversations that actually change behaviour and partner with Operations to solve problems, not just highlight them. You are coming into a good business with the right foundations but will support to modernise processes, sharpen reporting, utilise AI and bring pace to the finance engine.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
You’ll lead audit, statutory accounts, VAT, tax, cashflow forecasting, payroll oversight, and system improvements, including ownership of Sage Intacct.
This is a role with real visibility, real influence, real impact.
