Accounts Senior
Salary: Up to £47,000
Location: Sudbury
Full time | Hybrid & flexible working | 35 days’ leave | Client Manager progression
Looking for a genuine route into client management, rather than another Senior role with vague promises of progression?
Perhaps you’re ready for greater responsibility, but want the right support and experience behind you before making that step.
This independent practice is recruiting ahead of a pending internal promotion, creating a clear opportunity for an Accounts Senior to develop into a Client Manager position.
A Better Balance
You’ll have hybrid and flexible working arrangements, alongside a benefits package that properly recognises any additional time you put in while allowing you to focus on your life outside of work.
You’ll benefit from:
- 35 days’ annual leave
- The option to buy or sell up to five days’ leave
- Two days working from home after probation and flexible working patterns
- Paid Voluntary overtime and TOIL
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
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
A Clear Route to Client Manager
This is a production-focused role with structured progression. You’ll work closely with Managers while gradually taking on more responsibility for reviewing work, supporting junior colleagues and communicating with clients.
This will give you:
- A clear pathway from Accounts Senior into Client Manager
- Close support from experienced Managers
- More responsibility for client queries and communication
- Experience reviewing work and developing junior staff
- Broader exposure, including some audit work during peak season
A Typical Day
- Preparing and reviewing statutory accounts for a range of clients
- Preparing and reviewing corporation tax returns
- Supporting Managers with the delivery of client work
- Reviewing work prepared by junior colleagues
- Handling client queries and day-to-day communication
- Supporting audit assignments during peak season from March to July
