About the role:
I run an accountancy practice and I'm looking for an accountant to work with me on a part-time, self-employed basis. It's a fully remote role, paid by the hour to start with. The workload will be light at first and should grow as the practice takes on more clients, so the hours can increase over time. It would suit someone who wants flexible, remote work they can fit around other commitments and who's happy to take on more as things build.
Key details
- Location: Fully remote. Work from anywhere in the UK.
- Engagement: Self-employed. You invoice for your time and look after your own tax, National Insurance and insurances.
- Hours: Part-time and flexible to start, with hours likely to increase as the practice grows.
- Pay: Hourly rate, agreed based on your experience and qualifications.
- Term: Ongoing, with the potential to become a larger and more regular arrangement.
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.

- Comfortable with cloud accounting software such as Xero, QuickBooks, Sage or FreeAgent.
