Due to continued growth and recent client wins, the audit team is now looking to strengthen at Senior Associate level.

The Role
As an Audit Senior Associate, you will play an important role in the delivery of external audit assignments from planning through to completion.

Your responsibilities will include:
- Leading sections of audit assignments and supporting the delivery of audits to a high standard

- Preparing audit files, reviewing work, and ensuring documentation is accurate and compliant
- Building strong working relationships with clients and acting as a key point of contact during audit fieldwork
- Coaching and supporting trainees and junior team members
- Identifying issues, discussing findings with senior colleagues, and contributing to practical solutions
- Supporting the wider audit team with planning, delivery, and continuous improvement
- Maintaining strong technical standards while also taking a commercial and client-focused approach
About You
We are looking for someone with solid external audit experience gained within an accountancy practice environment.
You will ideally be recently qualified, or close to qualifying, with ACA, ACCA, or an equivalent professional qualification.
You should be able to demonstrate:
- Experience delivering external audit work within an accountancy firm
- Strong technical audit knowledge and attention to detail
- Confidence working with clients and building trusted relationships
- The ability to support, guide, and motivate junior colleagues
- A proactive attitude towards learning and career development
- Strong communication and teamwork skills
- A positive, ambitious, and professional approach
- The ability to think beyond the audit file and contribute ideas that improve client service and team performance
This role is not only about technical ability. The firm is particularly interested in people who show drive, commercial awareness, strong interpersonal skills, and a genuine interest in developing their long-term career in audit.
