An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Financial Controller to join a newly established, well-funded FCA-regulated consumer finance business in London.

Reporting to the CEO, this is a broad and influential role with responsibility for establishing a robust finance function, developing controls and reporting, and supporting the implementation and optimisation of Microsoft Dynamics.

- Support FCA and regulatory reporting requirements.
- Establish strong controls around cash, payments and balance-sheet integrity.

- Improve finance processes, automation and management information.
- Work closely with the CEO, senior management, Risk, Compliance and international stakeholders.
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.
The Ideal Candidate
We are seeking a commercially minded, hands-on finance professional who enjoys building rather than simply maintaining an existing function. You are likely to have:
- ACA, ACCA or CIMA qualification.
- Significant post-qualified financial services experience.
- Strong experience in consumer finance, lending, fintech, banking or payments.
- Experience operating in an FCA-regulated environment.
- Strong financial control, reporting and FP&A experience.
- Experience implementing or developing an ERP/finance system; Microsoft Dynamics would be highly advantageous.
- Ideally, experience within a start-up, scale-up or newly established business.
- The confidence to operate autonomously and engage with senior stakeholders.

Why Join?
This is a genuine opportunity to build the finance function from first principles and play a fundamental role in shaping the systems, controls and reporting infrastructure of a high-growth financial services business. Importantly, this is a long-term opportunity, supported by significant financial backing and international investment, rather than a short-term build-and-exit project.
