Mondrian Alpha is partnering with a growing Private Equity firm that has doubled in size over the last few years. As a result of this growth, they are looking to hire an ambitious Financial Controller who can oversee the team and help to scale the finance function.
This is a hands-on role working closely with the Head of Finance, owning the management company's day-to-day finance and coordinating outsourced providers across APAC. You will lead the multi-entity month-end close, reviewing journals, accruals, prepayments, and intercompany eliminations prepared by a junior accountant, and deliver monthly budget and forecast packs with insightful commentary. This will feed into the annual statutory accounts under UK GAAP/IFRS, and you will lead communication with auditors. The team uses Xero and are looking to maximise its use across the group, helping to streamline and tighten their control framework. You will also play a lead role in creating automated, standardised reports and developing dashboards.
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.
