Your new firm

This long-standing, independent accountancy practice specialising within the medical industry is seeking to appoint a new Accounts Semi Senior into their recently renovated Wilmslow office. This position has arisen due to continued growth, offering an excellent opportunity for an ambitious candidate looking to develop their career within a supportive and professional environment.

You will work closely with senior team members and managers, supporting them in delivering high-quality service. Day-to-day responsibilities will include:

  • Preparing statutory accounts and assisting with management accounts.
  • Completing VAT returns and supporting tax compliance work.
  • Liaising with clients to gather information and resolve queries.
  • Developing your technical knowledge and progressing towards taking on more responsibility over time.

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.
