Interim Finance Director | Watford area | 3–6 months | Start ASAP

We're recruiting a hands-on Interim Finance Director for a fast-growing technology and services business near Watford. The company is going through a period of significant change and needs an experienced pair of hands to strengthen and support the existing team.

This is an operational role. You'll own the day-to-day running of finance reporting, systems and operations, making sure the business gets accurate, robust financial information consistently, while tightening financial controls and supporting the wider business.

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.
