Financial Controller

£70,000 to £85,000 + £5,500 car allowance + 7.5% bonus

Central Nottingham | Two days in the office

I’m recruiting a Financial Controller for a decent-sized division of a much larger, well-established group.

This is a broad role with proper ownership across financial control, reporting, audit, cash, working capital and finance operations.

You’ll lead the Financial Accounting and Transactional Finance teams and take responsibility for:

  • Monthly, quarterly and annual reporting
  • Statutory accounts and external audit
  • Group reporting and balance sheet control
  • Financial governance, compliance and risk
  • Cash flow, liquidity and working capital
  • Budgeting and quarterly forecasting
  • Finance systems, automation and process improvement

They want someone who can do more than maintain what is already there. There is real scope to improve controls, reporting, systems and ways of working, while developing the wider finance team.

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.

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 business itself is established, profitable and continuing to grow, but this is not a hypergrowth or turnaround environment. It should appeal to someone looking for stability, long-term options and the chance to make a genuine impact without walking into constant firefighting.

There is also clear progression potential. The current Finance Director is expected to retire within the next few years, so for the right person there is a credible route into a broader leadership role over time.

They are looking for a qualified accountant with experience in a broad Financial Controller or senior finance role. You’ll need a solid technical grounding across reporting, audit, control and balance sheet management, alongside the ability to lead teams and influence across the business.
