Head of Financial Operations / Financial Controller

£75,000 - £85,000 + excellent benefits
Home-based with occasional UK travel

We're partnering with a well-known national charity to recruit a Head of Financial Operations / Financial Controller. This is a pivotal leadership role within a progressive finance function undergoing significant transformation and modernisation.

Reporting to the CFO, you'll lead the organisation's financial operations, ensuring robust financial controls, high-quality reporting, and efficient end-to-end finance processes. You'll also play a key role in embedding a recently implemented finance system and driving continuous improvement across the function.

Key responsibilities:

  • Lead all financial operations, ensuring an effective, efficient and customer-focused finance service.
  • Oversee month-end, year-end and statutory reporting processes.
  • Maintain a strong financial control framework and support external audit activity.
  • Lead Procure-to-Pay (P2P), Order-to-Cash (O2C) and Record-to-Report (R2R) processes.
  • Manage treasury, cashflow forecasting, VAT, taxation and payroll operations.
  • Drive automation, process improvement and systems optimisation.
  • Develop and lead a high-performing finance team.
  • Partner with stakeholders across the organisation to support strategic objectives.

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.
