Financial Controller - Contract (Central London, office-based)
We're partnering with a boutique wealth management and family office group with an international client base on the appointment of a Group Financial Controller to take full ownership of their finance function.
This is a genuine sole-charge role reporting to the CEO - you'll own the numbers end to end, from the ledgers to consolidated statutory accounts, across a multi-entity, multi-jurisdictional group. Broad scope, real autonomy, close to the decision-making.
What you'll do
- Run the finance function day to day as the CEO's right hand
- Own the ledgers and prepare quarterly management accounts, consolidated and subsidiary statutory accounts
- Oversee AP, client billing and cash across the group's entities
- Handle FCA filings (UK Ltd and LLP), Companies House, UK VAT and VAT oversight in other jurisdictions
- Coordinate the annual audit end to end
- Support budgeting, forecasting and reprojections, plus ad-hoc analysis and wider projects
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.
