Head of Finance | Multi-Site Hospitality | Manchester

A founder-led hospitality business. Rapid growth. Major delivery platform presence in Greater Manchester. Real momentum - and just getting started. πŸš€

This is a step up, and a stepping stone. The business is scaling fast, and the intention is clear: build the finance function, prove it, and grow into the Finance Director seat as the company expands. πŸ“ˆ

They don't need a traditional accountant. They need a commercial ace - someone who turns numbers into action and wants to genuinely shape a business alongside its founder, not just report on it.

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 β€” 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 β€” that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
