Role: Financial Director
Location: Bromley (4 days per week in office)
Salary: Circa £120,000 – £130,000
The Opportunity
This is not a slow, process-driven corporate finance role. This is a rare opportunity for a highly driven, hands-on Financial Director to join a fast-growth business. They are experiencing exceptional growth with the pace and energy of a start-up. You will be the CEO's trusted right hand – not just a technical accountant, but a true commercial partner who thrives on balancing aggressive growth ambitions with financial reality.
The Role
Leading a small but highly capable finance team, you will take full ownership of the finance function in a business that operates multiple operational units. You will be expected to move seamlessly between high-level strategy and rolling up your sleeves to get into the detail.
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.
Key responsibilities include:
- Commercial Finance & Modelling: Build and stress-test complex financial models to support growth initiatives, investment decisions, and scenario planning.
- Cash & Capital Management: Relentlessly focused on the balance between cash in the bank, working capital requirements, and the need to reinvest for growth.
- Contract & Commercial Review: Apply an expert eye for detail to customer, supplier, and partnership contracts – identifying risk, commercial upside, and hidden exposure before they become problems.
- Board Packs & Investor-Level Reporting: Prepare insightful, data-rich board packs that tell the real story – not just historical numbers, but forward-looking projections and actionable intelligence.
- Growth vs. Caution: Act as the internal guardian who respects ambition but never ignores the numbers. Challenge where needed, but always in service of sustainable, rapid growth.
- Operational Integration: Understand how multiple business units (e.g., different revenue streams, cost centres, or operational functions) interact financially – and ensure no part operates in a silo.

What We're Looking For
You will be a qualified accountant (ACA/ACCA/CIMA) with a proven track record as a Financial Director, Head of Finance, or senior finance leader in a fast-growth, high-energy environment.
You will be comfortable with the realities of a start up-style culture: ambiguity, pace, limited bureaucracy, and high personal accountability. In return you will have a genuine path to CFO as the business continues its growth trajectory.
