Senior Accountant – Audit and Accountancy

Audit & Accounts Opportunities – Northamptonshire

Permanent | Northamptonshire

Looking to gain valuable audit experience while keeping variety in day‑to‑day work? We’re recruiting on behalf of an expanding independent firm that’s actively developing its audit offering for SME clients — part of a broader commitment to delivering a full general practice service. Alongside audit, you’ll continue to work across accounts, tax, and advisory, giving you a well‑rounded foundation.

Why This Role Stands Out

Many independent firms have stepped away from audit due to the regulatory burden — but this firm sees things differently. They’ve invested in building their audit capacity and are offering ACA/ACCA qualified or part‑qualified accountants the chance to gain exposure that’s increasingly in demand for career progression.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Working across audit, accounts, and tax for a diverse SME client base
• Building valuable audit experience (essential if you want options later on)
• Engaging with clients directly and contributing to a growing firm
• Developing within a supportive team with progression potential

What We’re Looking For

• Public practice experience dealing with audit, accounts, and tax for SMEs
• ACA or ACCA qualified (or part‑qualified and actively studying)
• A “roll your sleeves up” attitude and ambition to progress
• Some audit experience is essential

This is a great move for someone looking to build on existing audit knowledge, gain more hands‑on exposure, and potentially grow with the firm as part of a longer‑term succession plan. Equally, it could be the stepping stone that opens doors elsewhere in the future.

Interested? Let’s talk. If you’re an accountant with audit, tax or general practice experience, and are thinking about your next step, get in touch.

Email your CV and a brief cover note to colin@waverecruit.com. We’ll review it personally and offer feedback or suggestions where we can.
