Interim CFO | PE-Backed Buy & Build Platform

Duration: Initial 6-12 month assignment

Start: Flexible for the right person

NHU1809

A highly acquisitive, PE-backed technical services business is seeking an experienced Interim CFO to support the next phase of growth.

Operating in a blue-collar, multi-site environment, the business has completed a number of acquisitions and is continuing to pursue an active buy-and-build strategy. The successful candidate will partner closely with the CEO, board and investors to drive integration, strengthen financial performance and support future M&A activity.

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.
