How often do you get all of it? A sector you can get genuinely excited about. A business with real scale and momentum. A transformation mandate with the authority to actually deliver it. A CFO relationship worth having.
This is one of those roles.
We're working with a well-established, profitable business — significant revenue, a loyal customer base, and a clear growth agenda now firmly in motion. The finance function is evolving, and this hire sits at the centre of that. You'll report directly to the CFO and carry genuine responsibility across the full financial control piece.
What the role covers: Leading group financial control — consolidations, monthly management accounts, board packs, and statutory accounts. Owning audit, tax compliance, and all key external relationships. Maintaining a robust control environment with strong balance sheet governance and audit readiness. Working closely with FP&A and commercial finance to support better decision-making across the business.
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.
Beyond the core control remit, there's a real transformation angle. You'll lead the move away from legacy finance systems, drive process redesign, embed automation, and help build a scalable finance function that's genuinely fit for the next phase of growth. This isn't a maintenance role — it's a building role.
You'll also lead and develop a growing team, with a clear focus on raising standards, building capability, and creating a culture of accountability and continuous improvement.

What we're looking for: A qualified accountant — ideally ACA — with meaningful post-qualification experience in financial control. You'll have a track record in multi-entity, multi-currency environments and be comfortable operating at pace in a business that's evolving. A background in PE-backed or large PLC environments is what we're focused on — people who know what good looks like and are used to being held to that standard. Hands-on involvement in finance system implementations is a real plus.
Sector experience isn't essential — but the mindset is. Someone who wants real ownership, takes pride in the quality of their work, and is energised by the opportunity to genuinely shape something.
If that sounds like you, let's talk.
