At BNP Paribas Personal Finance, we’re part of a global banking group with a simple mission: to provide straightforward consumer finance solutions that help customers make responsible financial decisions. We partner with leading UK retailers and brands to support their customers finance purchases responsibly.

The Role

Reporting to the Director of Finance, the Senior Financial Controller will provide senior leadership across financial accounting, statutory reporting, group consolidation, regulatory reporting and financial control activities for the UK entities.

  • Provide senior oversight of financial accounting, management accounts, statutory accounts and Group consolidation reporting for the UK entities, ensuring outputs are accurate, controlled, complete and delivered to agreed deadlines.
  • Responsible for leading and coordinating month-end, quarter-end and year-end reporting processes across relevant finance teams, influencing contributors to deliver high-quality submissions and resolving issues in a timely manner.
  • Review complex accounting, reconciliation, reporting and control matters, ensuring key judgements, risks and issues are clearly documented, challenged and escalated to the Director of Finance with appropriate recommendations.
  • Act as a senior point of contact for auditors, external advisors, Group finance teams, Finance Operations and wider business stakeholders on financial accounting, reporting and control matters.
  • Lead, coach and develop direct reports and colleagues involved in financial accounting and control activities, promoting high performance, technical quality, ownership and continuous improvement.

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.
