Senior Accountant – Northampton

£40K – £50K (Depending On Experience)

We’re recruiting on behalf of a leading independent accountancy firm in Northampton for a Senior Accountant with solid experience in practice and an eye on career progression.

📍 Please note: If you’re based outside the local area, make sure you’re happy with the commute before applying.

🌟 Why this firm?

This is one of the largest independent practices in the region — and it’s continuing to grow. Known for its friendly and modern environment, this firm offers a strong mix of variety, career support, and long-term opportunity.

💼 What’s on offer?

  • Flexible working
  • Annual bonus & incentive schemes
  • Regular pay reviews
  • Clear progression plans with ongoing internal and external training
  • On-site parking
  • Regular social events
  • Employer pension contributions

👥 About the role

You’ll be working closely with a broad range of clients — from sole traders and partnerships to OMBs, larger businesses, and HNWIs. This is a hands-on role in a supportive, forward-thinking team.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Accounts prep for limited companies, sole traders, partnerships, and charities
  • Monthly/quarterly management accounts
  • Workflow oversight and planning
  • Client review meetings
  • Supporting and mentoring junior team members

You’ll report directly to the Partners and play a vital role in the delivery of accounts and tax services using tools like Sage and IRIS.

📌 Who we’re looking for

  • ACA or ACCA qualified (or finalist level)
  • Experienced in practice (essential)
  • Ideally with experience using CCH, Xero, and other cloud accounting software
  • Someone confident, motivated, and ready to take the next step in their career

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.
