Role Description

This is a highly visible finance role that combines financial modelling, reporting, business partnering, and commercial analysis.

Working closely with the CFO and Finance leadership team, you will help maintain robust planning models, support budgeting and forecasting processes, develop management reporting, and translate financial data into meaningful business insights.

You will work extensively with NetSuite, Power BI, and advanced Excel models to support strategic decision-making across a fast-growing international business.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys turning complex data into actionable recommendations and wants to influence business performance beyond traditional reporting.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Drive budgeting, forecasting, and financial planning across a global, multi-entity business.
  • Build financial models and scenario analyses to support strategic decision-making.
  • Deliver insightful management reporting, KPI dashboards, and Board-level analysis.
  • Partner with leaders across Finance, Sales, Delivery, Product, and Operations to improve business performance.
  • Analyse revenue, profitability, headcount, utilisation, and cash performance to identify opportunities and risks.
  • Support commercial decisions through pricing, investment, and business case modelling.
  • Own and enhance reporting capabilities using NetSuite, Power BI, and advanced Excel.
  • Improve financial processes, data quality, governance, and automation, including the use of AI-driven tools.
  • Support international finance operations, compliance activities, and multi-currency reporting.
  • Help build a data-driven culture by providing clear financial insight and practical recommendations.
  • Support multi-currency and multi-entity reporting across the UK, Poland, Belgium, USA, Canada, and India.

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.
