This isn't a backfill. Nobody left. The team has grown and they need another Director who already holds RI status and can pick up a portfolio and run with it straight away.
This is a firm with a strong UK mid-market reputation and a global network behind it. They've been deliberate about how they grow, better work, stronger teams, senior hires who actually own their space rather than fill a gap on an org chart.
The Birmingham office has real momentum. Good pipeline, interesting clients and a base that spans Retail, Consumer Markets, Automotive, Manufacturing and some Energy. Commercially varied, technically solid, and the kind of work where your judgment gets used, not just your signature.
Why this role
- Brand new Director position, created because the team is growing not because someone walked out
- Portfolio ownership across a varied and commercially interesting client base
- Real BD expectation with the infrastructure to actually deliver on it
- Clear path to equity for the right person
- Hybrid working with genuine flexibility
Role requirements
- ACA / ACCA qualified
- Audit Responsible Individual (RI) status is essential
- Strong background in UK practice audit, ideally within the SME / mid-market space
- Driven to further grow a portfolio
- Strong leadership skills and people management skills
- Commercial mindset with a collaborative, hands‑on approach
The team is growing. They know what they need. If that's you, let's talk.
