You know your way around a set of books, you like getting the detail right, and you enjoy being the person who keeps everything running smoothly behind the scenes.
That’s the kind of Bookkeeper we're looking for here.
We’re working exclusively with an established and growing independent accountancy practice in Central London, and they’re looking for an experienced Bookkeeper to join the team.
You’ll manage your own portfolio of clients, looking after their day-to-day bookkeeping across a really interesting mix of owner-managed businesses, SMEs and entrepreneurial clients. You’ll work closely with the wider accounts and tax teams, while having direct access to the Partners and plenty of autonomy.
It’s a supportive, collaborative team where people know each other, work closely together and value the contribution everyone makes.
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.
