Are you a part qualified or newly qualified ACA or ACCA professional looking to build your audit career within a growing, independent accountancy firm?

At Rickard Luckin, we pride ourselves on taking a professional, passionate and personal approach. Not just with our clients, but with our people too.

Our firm remains proudly independent, owned and led by people who live and work in the same communities as our colleagues. This independence is not just a business model, it's a philosophy that shapes how we support, develop and grow with our people.

With continued demand for high quality audit work, this is an exciting time to join our team. You'll work with a diverse range of clients, from entrepreneurial owner managed businesses to larger groups and subsidiaries, gaining exposure to different sectors and developing your technical and commercial skills along the way.

About The Role

As an Audit Semi Senior, you'll play an important role within our audit team, working closely with Seniors, Managers and Directors to deliver high quality audits for a varied client portfolio.

This is a great opportunity for someone who already has a good grounding in audit and is looking to take the next step in their career. You'll gradually take on more responsibility as your experience develops, with the support and training you need to progress towards Audit Senior.

Your role will include:

  • Assisting with the planning and completion of audits from start to finish
  • Taking responsibility for specific sections of audit assignments
  • Preparing audit working papers and supporting the completion of audit files
  • Performing substantive and analytical audit testing
  • Identifying issues and discussing findings with Seniors and Managers
  • Building an understanding of clients, their businesses and the risks they face
  • Working directly with clients and developing strong professional relationships
  • Supporting and mentoring junior members of the team as your experience develops
  • Working collaboratively with our Accounts, Tax and Corporate Finance teams

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.
