Audit & Accounts Semi-Senior/Senior | Beaconsfield | Permanent

About the Role

Are you an audit and accounts professional looking for your next step in a practice where you'll be genuinely valued, supported, and given the tools to grow?

Our client is a well-established and forward-thinking accountancy practice based in Beaconsfield, and they're looking to strengthen their team with two permanent hires, at both Semi-Senior and Senior level.

Whether you're part-qualified and building momentum in your career, or you're more experienced and ready to take on greater responsibility, there could be a role here for you. Both positions offer hands-on exposure to a diverse client portfolio, a clearly defined progression path, and a team environment that genuinely invests in its people.

What You'll Be Doing

Depending on your level, your day-to-day will include a mix of the following:

  • Supporting and leading on the planning and completion of audit assignments
  • Preparing statutory accounts for a varied portfolio of clients across multiple sectors
  • Applying UK accounting standards and compliance requirements accurately and confidently
  • Building and maintaining strong client relationships, responding to queries in a professional and timely manner
  • Working closely with both junior and senior members of the team, contributing to shared deliverables
  • Taking on greater autonomy and responsibility as your experience and confidence grow (Senior level)

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.
