TPF Recruitment are proud to be representing a growing and highly regarded firm of Chartered Accountants in Poole that is looking to recruit an Accounts & Audit Semi-Senior as part of its continued expansion.

This is an excellent opportunity for an ambitious individual who is looking to develop their career within a supportive and modern accountancy practice. The role is predominantly focused on accounts and general practice work, with only a small amount of audit involvement. Previous audit experience is not essential, making this an ideal position for someone currently working in practice who wants to gain some exposure to audit while continuing to develop their accounts expertise.

The Role

Working closely with managers and partners, you will support a varied portfolio of clients ranging from OMB's and SMEs to larger established organisations across a range of sectors.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Preparing statutory accounts for limited companies, partnerships and sole traders.
  • Assisting with the preparation of management accounts.
  • Preparing corporation tax computations and returns.
  • Completing VAT returns and bookkeeping reviews where required.
  • Maintaining regular communication with clients and providing day-to-day support.
  • Assisting with a small number of audit assignments and audit fieldwork.
  • Supporting senior team members with ad hoc assignments and client projects.
  • Ensuring work is completed accurately and within agreed deadlines.

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.
