Are you a technically strong Group Financial Controller who thrives in fast-paced and acquisitive businesses?

We’re looking for a Group Financial Controller, to join an entrepreneurial and high-growth, listed media business as a pivotal stage in its evolution.

If you're someone who loves combining technical excellence with strategic impact, this role offers the chance to make a real difference. You'll be at the heart of the businesses’ growth story, partnering with leaders across the business to integrate acquisitions, improve the way they work and build a finance function that can support their ambitions for years to come.

Group Financial Controller – The Role

Group Reporting & Financial Control

  • Lead the Group’s monthly, half-year and year-end reporting processes, ensuring timely, accurate and high-quality financial information.
  • Manage the preparation and consolidation of Group statutory accounts under IFRS.
  • Own the Group consolidation process across multiple entities and jurisdictions.

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.
