About the Role

We are looking for a commercially minded Finance Analyst to be the bridge between finance and IT within a fantastic professional services business with offices in central Bristol.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys working at the intersection of finance, technology and business operations.

Key Responsibilities

  • Support the preparation, management and ongoing monitoring of the IT divisions annual budget and forecasts.

  • Produce clear and insightful monthly management reports for IT and senior finance stakeholders.
  • Partner with the IT budget holders to understand spending, challenge assumptions and support effective financial management.
  • Track IT operating costs, technology investments, projects and supplier spend.
  • Assist with forecasting and scenario modelling to assess the financial impact of business and technology decisions.
  • Support month-end activities, including accruals, reconciliations and reporting.

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.
