What’s in it for you?

Step into a role where you won’t just audit numbers – you’ll help build them, working across audit and accounts preparation with real client exposure.

Package & Benefits

  • Performance-linked bonus
  • Study support and leave for ACA/ACCA

  • Close-knit team with direct access to senior leadership
  • Flexible working hours within an office-based environment

Why this business

A well-established and growing accountancy practice with a specialist client base and a reputation for high-quality delivery. Unlike larger firms, the audit team operates in a hands-on, commercially focused way – combining audit with accounts preparation to give a more complete view of client finances.

With continued growth, there is a genuine opportunity to influence how audits are executed, improve working practices, and raise standards across the team.

What you’ll be doing

  • Lead audit engagements from planning through to completion, owning delivery end-to-end
  • Act as the primary contact for clients, building strong and trusted relationships
  • Supervise and develop junior staff, reviewing work and supporting their progression
  • Contribute to accounts preparation alongside audit work, broadening your technical exposure

What you’ll bring

  • 2-5 years’ audit experience within a UK accountancy practice
  • ACA/ACCA qualified or actively studying (finalist level considered)
  • Strong understanding of UK GAAP and ISAs (UK), with IFRS exposure advantageous
  • Experience preparing statutory accounts and confidence working across both audit and accounts preparation ideal, but not essential

Who this suits

You’re an Audit Senior who wants more responsibility and broader exposure than a traditional firm can offer. You’re confident working directly with clients, enjoy being part of a collaborative team, and want to play a role in improving how work is delivered – not just executing it.

You’ll thrive in a close-knit environment where communication matters and where you’re encouraged to get involved, contribute ideas, and grow quickly.
