Semi-Senior Accountant

Location: Milton Keynes

Salary: £32K – £35K (depending on experience)

Looking to build on your experience in practice with a firm that will invest in your future?

We’re working with a long-established firm of Chartered Accountants in the Milton Keynes area that is looking to recruit a Semi-Senior Accountant to join its growing team.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone with around three years’ UK accountancy practice experience who enjoys working with owner-managed businesses and is keen to continue developing their career in a supportive, friendly environment.

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.
