Senior Accountant - Accountancy Practice
Cardiff
£52,000-£62,000 Hybrid Working Permanent
What would make your next move genuinely worthwhile?
- More client responsibility?
- A clearer route into management?
- Better exposure to senior people?
- Enough flexibility to still have a life outside work?
A successful independent firm is looking for a Senior Accountant - Accountancy Practice as part of a wider investment into its future leadership team.
This is an established, profitable business rather than a start-up dressed in expensive language about "growth". It already has strong clients, experienced people, and excellent staff retention. The investment now is about adding capacity and making sure there is a proper succession plan beneath the existing leadership team.
Based in Cardiff, you'll work with entrepreneurial businesses ranging from start-ups through to established owner-managed companies.
The role
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.
The Senior Accountant - Accountancy Practice will have considerably more client exposure than a traditional accounts-production position.
You'll be involved in:
- Preparing statutory accounts and associated working papers
- Reviewing straightforward accounts prepared by junior colleagues
- Managing jobs and keeping clients updated
- Handling day-to-day accounting queries
- Supporting year-end tax work
- Attending meetings with business owners
- Developing an understanding of clients beyond their year-end numbers
- Supporting Managers across larger portfolios
- Taking increasing ownership as your experience develops
Hybrid working forms part of the proposition, while maintaining the regular face-to-face contact that has helped the firm build particularly strong client relationships.
What they're looking for
You'll need recent experience within a UK firm and a solid grounding in accounts preparation.
You may already be ACA or ACCA qualified, approaching qualification, or have developed equivalent experience without following the traditional qualification route.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
More important is the ability to communicate properly with clients. The firm wants someone who can eventually sit opposite a business owner, understand the issue they are raising, and explain the answer without disappearing behind technical jargon.
What's on offer
- £52,000-£62,000
- Clear progression into client management
- Broad owner-managed business exposure
- Increasing portfolio responsibility
- Support from experienced senior professionals
- Strong client-facing development
- Highly profitable independent business
- Genuine long-term career opportunity
For an ambitious Senior Accountant looking for more than another year of producing accounts, this is a chance to join a progressive Cardiff firm at a point where growth and succession are creating real opportunities.
