Role Summary
Join our EMEA Finance team as a Financial Planning & Analysis Analyst, supporting the planning, forecasting and reporting that help leaders understand performance and make informed decisions across a growing European platform.

- Produce insightful performance analysis and support strategic initiatives with clear financial and commercial insight.
- Provide robust financial analysis and commercial input to support development underwriting and business cases.
- Prepare responsive ad hoc analysis, presentations and data support for senior Finance leaders and other stakeholders, often to short deadlines.
- Support timely and accurate monthly, quarterly and annual group reporting, consolidating inputs from regional Finance teams for senior leadership and investors.
- Maintain and improve reporting outputs, tools and processes, helping to strengthen consistency, accuracy and the quality of performance insight.
- Partner closely with Operations and other functions, providing constructive challenge and helping stakeholders understand the financial impact of business decisions.
- Prepare consolidated Operations reporting and analysis for the monthly Operations/Finance forum.
- Develop scalable, transparent and auditable FP&A models and reporting tools that improve efficiency and decision-making.
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.
