If you've reached the point where you're looking for more variety, more responsibility, or simply a better working environment, this could be the opportunity you've been waiting for.

Whether you're already operating as an Audit & Accounts Senior or you're a capable Semi-Senior ready to take the next step, this role offers the chance to develop your technical skills across both audit and accounts while working with a diverse portfolio of owner-managed businesses and growing groups. You'll enjoy exposure to clients ranging from small local businesses through to organisations generating in excess of £50m in turnover, giving you the breadth of experience that can accelerate your career.

This Audit & Accounts Senior position, based in Kettering, offers a genuine mix of responsibilities, with around 60% accounts and 40% audit work, ensuring no two weeks look quite the same. You'll be joining a supportive and professional environment that values development, encourages progression, and provides access to high-quality training and mentoring. If you're looking for a role where your contribution is recognised and your future development matters, this could be exactly what you're searching for.

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.
