Senior Accountant
£40,000 - £50,000 per annum
Manchester City Centre - hybrid working
Permanent
Sellick Partnership is working with a growing independent accountancy practice that operates across two sites in the Manchester area. They're looking to add an experienced practice professional to the accounts team, someone ready to own a client portfolio and grow into a more senior, client-facing role.
The Role:
You'll manage a mixed portfolio, acting as the day-to-day contact for a range of owner-managed businesses and SMEs. It's a hands-on position with real scope to build technical depth and take on more responsibility over time, working closely with the firm's senior team.
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.
