Finance Director | Central London | £110,000–£140,000 DOE (potential flex) + Benefits

FULL TIME OR PART TIME (3-4 DAYS)

Robert Half are partnering with an established SME consulting business (turnover of under £10m) to appoint a commercially minded Finance Director.

This is a broad senior leadership role, reporting directly to the Board and working closely with Directors, Partners, and the Senior Management Team. The successful candidate will play a key role in supporting the company’s continued growth and development.

This is a hands-on Finance Director position, combining strategic leadership with day-to-day financial ownership. You’ll be equally comfortable presenting to the Board as you are getting into the detail of the monthly management pack and management accounts.

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.
