Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Why this is a great opportunity
This is a firm that’s built its reputation on quality and long-term relationships with clients and staff alike. As they continue to grow, they’re looking for a manager who can bring structure, leadership and technical strength to the accounts team, while keeping the personal, client-focused feel that sets them apart. You’ll have the autonomy to run things properly, the backing of the partners, and the flexibility to enjoy a genuine work-life balance.
What you’ll be doing
- Managing and developing a team, overseeing workflow and quality
- Owning a portfolio of clients and acting as their key point of contact
- Reviewing accounts, and overseeing the delivery of accounts, VAT and management information
- Supporting, mentoring and developing junior members of the team
- Working closely with the partners on the running of the practice

What we’re looking for
- A qualified accountant (ACA or ACCA), though a strong qualified-by-experience candidate will always be considered
- Solid practice experience, with the confidence to lead a team
- Strong technical grounding across accounts, VAT and general compliance
- A natural people-manager who enjoys developing others
- Someone who values being part of a close-knit, independent firm rather than a corporate machine
If you’re a practice professional ready to step into a leadership role with a firm that genuinely values its people, this is one worth a conversation.
