Northampton | Hybrid Working | ACA/ACCA Qualified, Part-Qualified or Studying
PHM is a well-established independent firm of Chartered Accountants based in Northampton, providing audit, accountancy, tax and advisory services to owner-managed businesses, SMEs and not-for-profit organisations across a wide range of sectors.
Due to the continued development of our Audit department, we are looking to recruit an Audit Senior to join our team.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone with at least two years' audit experience within UK practice who is looking to further their career in a supportive and progressive firm. You will work closely with senior members of the Audit team and gain exposure to a broad and interesting portfolio of clients, whilst playing an important role in the future growth of the department.
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.
