Group Financial Controller
Professional Services
£150k + bonus/equity
London
The Opportunity
Finatal have partnered with a fast-growing Professional Services business based in central London. The business is c.2 years away from an exit and they need a Group Financial Controller to come on board and report directly to the CFO. The business is backed by a reputable private equity firm, and the role will also require interfacing with the fund.
To be successful in this role, you would have operated in a PE-backed business that is over £150m t/o and have previously been reporting directly to the CFO. This is a sector agnostic position, and the client is open to various backgrounds to bring a different skillset.
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.
