Financial Accountant/ Practice Accountant
Salary: £35,000–£50,000 depending on experience
Location: Wall Heath
Working pattern: Full-time onsite. There may be some flexibility around working hours, but this is not a hybrid position.
I’m recruiting a Financial Accountant to join a well-established, mid-sized accountancy practice based in Wall Heath.
The practice works with a genuinely varied client base, including limited companies, LLPs, franchises, and sole traders, so this is a broad role rather than one focused on a narrow client type or sector.
I’m looking for someone who can take real ownership of their work and see jobs through from start to completion. You’ll need strong accounts preparation experience, with the ability to prepare accounts to at least trial balance stage independently. Tax knowledge would be highly advantageous, although the priority is someone with a solid grounding in accounts who understands the full process and is comfortable managing their own workload and client requirements.
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.
