Senior Accountant - Accounts and Audit

Competitive salary + benefits | Hybrid & Flexi-time | Full-time

Are you an ambitious qualified accountant looking for a role where you can take ownership of a client portfolio, broaden your technical experience and play a meaningful part in a growing practice?

We're working with a well-established accountancy firm that is entering an exciting period of significant growth. The business has strong plans for the future and is looking for a driven Senior Accountant who wants to develop alongside the firm, take on increasing responsibility and contribute to its continued success.

The culture is friendly, collaborative and genuinely supportive, with teamwork at the heart of how the practice operates. It's a progressive environment where people are encouraged to develop their skills, build strong client relationships and have a voice in how the business moves forward.

The Role

This is a varied position combining approximately 50% accounts and 50% audit, making it well suited to someone who enjoys variety and wants to maintain a broad technical skill set.

As a Senior Accountant, you'll manage a diverse portfolio of clients, lead assignments and work directly with clients to understand their needs and provide practical advice. Alongside year-end accounts and tax work, you'll gain valuable audit exposure, including leading assignments and overseeing junior team members.

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.
