Job Opportunity: Accounts Senior

A growing and successful accountancy practice has a requirement for an Accounts Senior to join their firm based in their Paignton office. You will provide year-end accounts, tax, VAT compliance, and wider services to a mixed client base across a range of industry sectors and turnovers as a key, long-term addition.

Client Details

Based in Paignton, this highly successful firm of accountants has grown consistently since its inception and acts for a very wide-ranging client base across a whole variety of sectors. The firm acts for varied sole traders, partnerships, and limited companies, up into the £millions in turnover. TaxCalc and Xero are the main accounting software, and the firm provides a supportive, team-cultured environment with a mix of home to office working on offer, once settled into the firm and role post probation.

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.
