Bookkeeper | Cheltenham | Hybrid | Join a Growing Accountancy
What if your next bookkeeping role gave you more than just another list of reconciliations?
Balanced Hiring are partnering with a modern and ambitious accountancy practice in Cheltenham that's growing quickly and building an exceptional team.
We're looking for an experienced Bookkeeper who enjoys variety, takes pride in accuracy and loves building relationships with clients.
This is much more than a transactional bookkeeping role. You'll support a diverse client portfolio across sales invoicing, supplier payments, bank reconciliations, VAT, month-end and project costing, while becoming a valued part of a business that's genuinely investing in its people.
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.
