Head of FP&A

Location: Warwickshire or London based

We're supporting a growing private equity-backed international business with the appointment of a newly created Head of FP&A.

Reporting into the CFO, this is a broad role with ample exposure across the business. You'll collaborate closely with the Board and senior leadership team, taking ownership of budgeting, forecasting, and reporting while facilitating better commercial decision-making.

The business values candidates who:

  • Enjoy diving deep into challenges
  • Are unafraid to ask questions or challenge assumptions
  • Can build strong relationships across the organisation

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.
