Senior Technical Accountant - Interim

My Local Government client is looking to recruit a Senior Technical Accountant to join them on an interim basis for a period of 6 to 9 months. Reporting into the Head of Corporate Finance, the role will be responsible for leading and managing the accountancy, budgetary and financial support to the council as well as ensuring compliance with relevant accounting standards, CIPFA guidance and legislative requirements, including production of final accounts, budget estimates and development/ maintenance of budgetary control systems.

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.
