Group Financial Controller
London (Hybrid)
£85,000–£105,000 + Benefits
I'm currently partnering with a high-growth, consumer-facing business to appoint a Group Financial Controller to join their leadership team during an exciting phase of growth and transformation.
Operating across multiple channels, the business has built a highly regarded brand and continues to scale both in the UK and internationally.
Reporting directly to the CFO, this role offers the opportunity to lead and develop a finance team whilst taking ownership of the Group's financial control environment, reporting processes and finance operations.
The Opportunity
This is a highly visible role with genuine exposure to senior leadership and the wider business. You will be responsible for ensuring the finance function delivers robust financial reporting, strong controls and meaningful commercial insight to support 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.
