The opportunity:
Not every Financial Controller role is just about keeping the numbers in order. Some give you the opportunity to influence decisions, improve how a business operates, and play a key part in its future growth.
This is one of those roles.
We’re working with a market-leading distributor that has built an excellent reputation within its sector. They’re now looking for a commercially minded Financial Controller to join their senior leadership team and take ownership of an established finance function.
This is a hands-on role where you won’t be hidden away in the finance team. You’ll work closely with colleagues across the business, build strong relationships with customers and suppliers, and become a trusted advisor to the wider leadership team.
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.
Alongside finance, you’ll also oversee IT, making this a varied role with plenty of scope to influence. There is also a clear succession plan, with the opportunity to progress into a Finance Director role within the next 12 months.
What will you be doing?
You’ll be responsible for:
- Leading and developing an experienced finance team
- Producing monthly management accounts
- Managing budgets, forecasting, and financial reporting
- Overseeing VAT, compliance, and statutory reporting
- Managing foreign currency transactions with overseas suppliers
- Supporting company secretarial duties and ensuring governance requirements are maintained
- Building strong relationships with customers and suppliers
- Providing commercial insight to support business decisions
- Taking ownership of finance systems, IT, and process improvements
- Working closely with senior stakeholders to support future growth
What are we looking for?
You’ll already be working as a Financial Controller or in a similar senior finance position and enjoy being involved in the wider business, not just the numbers.
