Senior Accountant – Northampton – c£45K
A rare opportunity to join an established, modern firm with a strong reputation for internal promotion. Due to ongoing growth, the firm is looking to recruit an ambitious ACA/ACCA qualified (or finalist) with the potential to take on management responsibilities and grow with the firm.
What’s On Offer
- Flexible working
- 25 days holiday
- Annual bonus and incentive schemes
- Ongoing professional development and training
- On-site parking
- Regular social events
- Pension contributions
The Role
You’ll work closely with a Partner and be involved in managing a portfolio of SME clients — typically sole traders, partnerships, and limited companies.
This is a varied position that combines technical work with client-facing responsibilities and people management. Key aspects include:
- Supporting the Partner in managing client relationships
- Preparing and reviewing accounts and tax work
- Helping to supervise and mentor junior team members
- Assisting in the future development of the firm, including business advisory work and (eventually) business development
- Audit is a minor part of the role so audit experience would be beneficial.
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 firm is looking for someone with ambition and leadership potential.
About You
You will be ACA / ACCA qualified ( or a finalist ) with a General Practice background and have experience in dealing with the audit, accounting and tax requirements for small Owner Managed Businesses. The audit side is essential though not a major part of the role.
There is flexibility in the role and the firm can accommodate a finalist looking for a step up to senior level or an experienced senior. It is a varied and interesting role which will provide considerable client exposure and also the opportunity to get involved in business advisory work.
Experience in business development with the ability to maintain and develop the client base within the firm would be useful, but if you do not have this experience, the enthusiasm to be involved in business development would be of interest and mentoring will be provided.
