Interim Financial Controller / FP&A Lead
Location: Grantham (On-site)
Contract: Interim
Start Date: Immediate
A growing acquisitive business in Grantham is seeking an experienced Interim Financial Controller with strong FP&A expertise to provide immediate support during a critical period of growth and integration.
Following a number of recent acquisitions, the finance team requires a commercially minded interim professional who can quickly take ownership of the newly acquired entities, bring stability to reporting processes, and provide the financial insight needed to support the wider business. This is a highly visible role requiring someone who can hit the ground running, assess the current situation, and implement practical solutions from day one.
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.
