Immediate/quick start
We are looking for a hands-on Senior FP&A Analyst during an exciting period of transformation. This is an interim assignment for initially 3 months, based in Central London with hybrid working (3 days in the office, 2 days remote).
As this is a critical short-term contract, you need to be a self-starter who can pick up tasks quickly. You will take immediate ownership of core reporting, forecasting, and financial modelling while helping upgrade the data architecture.
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.
