Looking for a role where you can take ownership, mentor others, and work with a varied client portfolio?

Our client, a well-established and growing accountancy practice, is looking for an experienced Accounts Senior to join their collaborative team. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys working across a broad range of clients while supporting junior team members and contributing to the continued success of the department.

Responsibilities

As an Accounts Senior, you will:

  • Prepare statutory accounts for a varied portfolio of clients, including limited companies, sole traders, partnerships, LLPs, charities, and groups.
  • Prepare and review VAT returns, bookkeeping assignments, and management accounts.
  • Liaise with the Tax team to resolve client queries where required.

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.
