Accounts Semi Senior

Hybrid working
Central London Offices

Industry: Accounting

Salary: £30,000 – £35,000

We are proud to partner with a leading independent accountancy practice in central London who are recruiting an ambitious Accounts Semi Senior to join their team.

This role is pivotal in ensuring accurate, timely and compliant financial reporting across multiple client portfolios.

The ideal candidate will play a key role in the end-to-end accounting cycle, from month-end close to financial analysis and client advisory. With a strong foundation in accounting principles and hands-on experience with leading cloud-based platforms such as Xero and Dext, you will support the delivery of high-quality financial services while contributing to process improvements and operational efficiency.

This position offers a clear career progression path for an ACCA or ACA part-qualified or finalist, aiming to develop into a fully qualified accountant within a supportive and growth-oriented environment.

Responsibilities:

  • Manage and maintain accurate financial records for a portfolio of clients using Xero and Dext platforms.
  • Perform month-end and year-end closing procedures, including reconciliations, journal entries, and accruals.
  • Prepare and review financial statements, management reports, and tax returns in line with UK GAAP and HMRC requirements.
  • Support clients with financial analysis, cash flow forecasting, and budgeting insights to drive informed decision-making.
  • Liaise with clients, bookkeepers, and external auditors to ensure timely and accurate submission of financial documentation.
  • Identify and implement process improvements to enhance efficiency, accuracy, and compliance across accounting workflows.
  • Assist in the preparation of VAT returns, PAYE, and other statutory filings in accordance with regulatory deadlines.
  • Contribute to audit readiness and support external audit processes, including documentation and query resolution.
  • Mentor junior team members and contribute to knowledge-sharing initiatives within the finance team.

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.
