Manchester | Hybrid - 3 days in the office | Up to c.£85k–£88k + benefits
I’m working on a fairly specialist Senior Manager opportunity in Manchester that I think will appeal to someone who enjoys the advisory side of finance just as much as the technical side.
This isn’t a standard portfolio accounting role and it isn’t really aimed at someone whose experience has mainly been with smaller owner-managed businesses.
About the Role
The team works with larger, more complex organisations, often with an international element, providing senior-level finance support across areas such as management reporting, statutory reporting, finance function support, systems and process improvement, controls, project work, and wider commercial finance advice.
There’s also a genuine opportunity here to help shape and grow the offering in Manchester. You’d be taking ownership of senior client relationships, leading teams, overseeing delivery, and getting involved in one-off finance projects, while also having a commercial role in developing new relationships and helping build the local market.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.

No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
The role would particularly suit somebody at Senior Manager level within Outsourced Finance, CFO Advisory, Accounting Advisory, Finance Managed Services, or Finance Advisory, or somebody from industry with a strong practice background who misses the variety and client-facing side.
It’s a senior hire, but also one where there is quite a lot of room to make your mark rather than simply stepping into a very established remit.
Salary and Benefits
Salary is flexible up to the mid/high £80ks depending on experience, with an excellent wider benefits package on top.
If this sounds close to your background, or you’re just curious to hear a bit more, feel free to message me directly. Happy to have a confidential conversation first.
