Your new company
I am currently working with a growing London-based property investment and real estate business with an established portfolio of residential and commercial assets across the UK and internationally. The company has built a strong reputation and is entering an exciting phase of growth, creating an opportunity for an experienced finance professional to join the leadership team and help shape the future direction of the business.
Your new role
As Part-Time Finance Lead, you will take ownership of the finance function and act as the key finance contact for the business. Reporting directly to the Directors, you will be responsible for overseeing monthly management accounts, cash flow forecasting, budgeting, financial reporting and supporting strategic decision-making. This is a broad and hands-on position offering significant autonomy and flexibility, working two days per week, with one day in the London office.
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.
