Senior Accountant - Audit, Tax & Accounts
London | Full-time | ACA/ACCA Qualified
Salary: £55,000-£60,000
I'm working with a well-established and respected accountancy practice in London that's looking to bring on a Senior Accountant with strong experience across audit, tax, and accounts. This is a well-rounded role offering a good mix of technical work and client exposure - ideal for someone who's confident working independently but still collaborative within a team setup.
What You'll Be Doing
Accounts
- Preparing year-end accounts for a range of clients - limited companies, LLPs, sole traders, partnerships, and pension schemes
- Working from incomplete records or client trial balances (Sage, Xero, QuickBooks, etc.)
- Handling budgets and planning, liaising directly with clients to resolve queries
- Reviewing files with senior staff and finalising reporting packs
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.

- Carrying out risk assessments, setting materiality levels and sampling
