Accounts Semi-Senior

Location: Central Harrogate

Contract: Permanent

Salary: Circa £25,000-28,000 DOE

Working Pattern: Full-time

A well-established and growing independent accountancy practice based in central Harrogate is seeking an Accounts Semi-Senior to join its friendly and supportive team.

The firm is keen to recruit someone with existing practice experience and can offer ongoing study support towards either AAT or ACA qualifications.

The Role

The successful candidate will gain exposure across a broad range of accounting and compliance work, supporting a varied portfolio of clients while continuing to build their technical skills.

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.
