Interim Financial Controller

Circa £550-£650/day

6 Months + Contract

Midlands (Remote)


We're supporting a growing, PE backed multi-site Healthcare business with the appointment of a hands on senior Financial Controller / Controls focused Finance Director.

This is an opportunity to play a key role in strengthening the Finance function, improving reporting and controls, and supporting the business through its next phase of organic and inorganic growth.

Working closely with the CFO, you'll take ownership of the day-to-day Finance function while helping build a scalable platform capable of supporting continued growth.

Responsibilities:

  • Leading the Management Accounts and Transactional Finance teams, ensuring accurate, timely and insightful financial reporting.
  • Owning and continually improving the month-end close process across multiple entities.
  • Building and maintaining a robust financial control environment across a growing, multi-site organisation.
  • Developing high-quality management reporting, KPIs and performance dashboards to support commercial decision making.
  • Partnering with operational leaders across the business, providing meaningful insight around profitability, costs, cashflow and performance.
  • Driving budgeting, forecasting and working capital management.
  • Supporting the business through periods of growth, acquisition and organisational change, ensuring Finance processes, reporting and controls evolve alongside the business.
  • Helping integrate new acquisitions where required, embedding consistent reporting, governance and financial controls.
  • Identifying opportunities to improve systems, automate manual processes and increase reporting capability.
  • Supporting year-end audit, statutory reporting and wider Finance transformation initiatives.
  • Working closely with the CFO on strategic projects and business improvement initiatives.

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.
