Accounts Semi Senior
Salary: Up to £35,000
Working Arrangements: Full Time (35hrs) | Hybrid & Flexible Working
Location: Brentwood
Role Description
I’m working with a very modern and forward-thinking accountancy practice based in brand new offices in Brentwood, just a short walk from the train station.
They are looking to appoint an Accounts Semi Senior to join their growing team, working across a varied portfolio of clients. The role is predominantly accounts-focused, with the opportunity to get involved in audit work (up to 30%) if desired, though this is not essential.
You’ll be responsible for managing a portfolio of around 70–100 clients, gaining strong exposure and responsibility, with clear progression opportunities once qualified.
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.
