- Strategic thinkers
- Solution providers
- True business advisers and developers
- Fantastic mentors
The Opportunity
This is a senior role in the accounts department based in Goole, managing a portfolio of clients and working closely with team members to manage the department generally. The work primarily involves the delivery of a wide range of timely, high quality accounts and tax compliance assignments for clients (including a significant number within the farming industry). The role also requires supervision and mentoring of trainees.
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.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Whilst the focus is on compliance, there are also many opportunities to significantly expand the range and breadth of experience through direct engagement with clients, attending and leading meetings, adhoc projects and working as part of a team to deliver a proactive service. No two days are the same.
