  • Address technical queries, applying up-to-date knowledge of auditing and accounting standards

  • Liaise with internal teams (including tax and accounts) to ensure seamless client service

  • Take responsibility for maintaining strong client relationships and identifying areas for added value

  • Support wider firm initiatives, such as training, mentoring, and process improvement

About You

  • Experienced in external audit within a professional practice environment

  • Confident leading audit assignments and managing multiple projects simultaneously

  • Up to date with UK GAAP, IFRS, auditing standards, and company law

  • Strong technical and analytical skills, with attention to detail and sound commercial awareness

  • Excellent communicator with the ability to build lasting client relationships

  • Organised, proactive, and comfortable supervising others in a fast-paced environment

What We Offer

  • Competitive salary and benefits package

  • Flexible and hybrid working options

  • Enhanced annual leave and additional day off for your birthday
