We are working exclusively with a fast-growing private equity firm based in Central London to appoint their first senior finance hire. The firm operates a differentiated investment model and is at an exciting stage of growth, moving into fund management for the first time after several years of successful investing from its own balance sheet.
This is a broad, hands-on role covering both the management company and the fund. Day to day, you will take ownership of the full finance function: monthly reporting, board packs, cashflow management, and all statutory and tax obligations. Alongside this, you will manage the relationship with the outsourced fund administrator as the firm approaches and works through its first close, overseeing all fund-related finance activity including investor reporting and fund-level cash management.
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.
The Right Candidate
The right candidate will be a qualified accountant (ACA or similar) with solid post-qualification experience spanning both in-house finance and the fund side of a private equity or venture capital firm. You will be comfortable managing third-party providers, working without a large team around you, and owning the finance function.

About the Opportunity
This is a firm at an inflection point, and this hire will be central to it. There is a clear trajectory to CFO, direct access to the founding team, and the chance to build something from scratch in a business with real momentum. If you have spent your career wanting to own a function rather than support one, this is worth a conversation.
Location and Work Flexibility
The role is based in Central London - 2/3 days WFH and good flexibility, with a firm that understands people have lives outside of work.
“It took my CV and asked me questions relevant to understanding what kind of jobs to suggest for me. Suggestions were almost perfect. Jobs were exactly what I’ve been looking for.”
