Part Qualified Accountant – Edinburgh
£28,000 – £35,000 + Study Support | Edinburgh | Reputable Accountancy Firm | Full-time
We’re working with a well-known and respected accountancy firm in Edinburgh to recruit a motivated Part Qualified Accountant. If you’re early in your career and looking for a supportive team, a varied client base, and full study support to help you qualify — this could be just what you’re looking for.
Why this firm?
This firm has a strong reputation across Edinburgh and the east of Scotland, especially for its work with small businesses and high-net-worth individuals. They offer a dynamic, forward-thinking environment where learning is encouraged, and your progress is taken seriously. It’s a great place to build a solid foundation in accountancy.
The Role
You’ll work with a range of clients — including limited companies, sole traders, partnerships, charities, and trusts — across industries like landed estates, service sectors, and SMEs. You’ll prepare accounts, assist with bookkeeping, and support VAT compliance, all while developing your knowledge and getting closer to qualification.
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.
