Finance Operations Manager (contractor) at RORA, London Area, £Contract Rate

Looking for a new way to work? You’re not alone.

RORA is growing our exclusive freelance team of FinOps Managers. We’re looking for qualified or part-qualified accountants who have worked in the startup or scaleup sectors and are craving variety, impact, and freedom in their work. You'll likely already hold a 'Finance Manager', 'Management Accountant', ''Financial Controller post (or similar of course), with a keen focus on building out your portfolio with interim and contracting gigs.

we’re reinventing contracting

Contracting is great – you get to be the boss. But it can leave you out on your own with no real support or community, and the constant hustle for new work can be exhausting.

At RORA, we’re turning the traditional contracting model on its head. We offer the perks of being an employee, the variety you’d expect as a contractor, and the support and development opportunities of a big firm. It’s the best of both worlds!
