Audit Senior / Assistant Manager – Milton Keynes
dependant on experience Top 50 Environment Outstanding Work-Life Balance
I’m currently partnering with a highly respected, award-nominated accountancy practice that is expanding its Audit team in Milton Keynes. This firm offers excellent exposure, genuine progression pathways, and a culture that truly supports its people. We’re looking for an Audit Senior or Assistant Manager who is ready to step into a role with real responsibility and long-term potential.
The Opportunity
This is an ideal position for someone who enjoys a mix of audit and accounts work (approximately 80% audit / 20% accounts) and wants to join a supportive team where quality, collaboration, and development are at the forefront.
You’ll be reporting to Audit Managers while overseeing and mentoring junior staff — an excellent step up for those wanting to grow their supervisory experience.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead and deliver audits for clients with turnovers up to £250m, including specialist sectors such as charities, solicitors, pensions, schools, and regulated industries.
- Complete audit work to deadlines and within budget, working with minimal supervision.
- Provide technical guidance and support to junior team members.
- Prepare draft corporation tax computations, statutory accounts, and consolidated accounts under FRS102.
- Produce audit findings and recommendations for management.
- Complete group reporting responsibilities where acting as a component auditor.
- Undertake larger accounts preparation work for audit‑exempt entities.
Tools & Technology
Experience with any of the following would be an advantage: Proaudit, CCH Accounts Production, Sage, QuickBooks, Xero, Alphatax, and Microsoft Office. A laptop will be provided.
What We’re Looking For
- ACA/ACCA Qualified or Finalist level.
- Minimum 2.5 years’ experience in a UK practice environment, with consistent audit exposure.
- Strong technical skills with the ability to take ownership of audit files.
- Confident communicator who can work effectively with clients and colleagues at all levels.
- Someone who thrives in a mixed role involving both complex audits and less straightforward accounts assignments.
- Ability to manage deadlines, budgets, and competing priorities.
The Firm’s Culture & Values
The practice prides itself on being a people‑focused, collaborative, and forward‑thinking environment. They are looking for individuals who reflect their core values:
- Together – Supportive, humble, positive, and team‑driven.
- Resilient – Open‑minded, adaptable, and solutions‑oriented.
- Understanding – Respectful, empathetic, and grounded in integrity.
- Supportive – Encouraging, kind, and committed to others’ growth.
- Thrive! – Motivated to deliver exceptional work and embrace continuous improvement.
Why This Role Stands Out
- Join an award‑nominated, reputable firm with a strong Audit heritage.
- Work in a culture that prioritises development, wellbeing, and balance.
- Gain experience across a broad and varied client base.
- Clear pathways to progress towards Assistant Manager, Manager, and beyond. Please apply here if you feel this matches your next move.
