Manager (4-Day Week)
Accountancy Practice | Sheffield | Up to £50,000 | 4-day week
Four days a week. Full pay, full role, no catch.
One of the fastest-growing accountancy practices in the region is hiring a Manager to take ownership of a portfolio of clients and lead a small team through management accounts, VAT compliance, and advisory work. It’s a senior, hands-on role with a genuinely reduced week attached to it, not a watered-down version of the job for less money.
You’ll be the main point of contact for your clients, spotting where they need advice beyond the numbers, and you’ll have real input into how the team runs day to day.
The four-day week
This isn’t a compressed-hours trick or a trial scheme. The practice has restructured around a genuine four-day week because it gets better work out of people who aren’t running on empty by Thursday. You keep full salary and full seniority. What changes is how much of your week belongs to you.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
