This role offers a modern audit approach and a strong focus on staff development.

Your new company

A modern, growing accountancy practice that’s genuinely investing in its people. You’ll be joining a friendly, down‑to‑earth audit team where development is taken seriously, work is well‑managed, and progression isn’t just talk.
Clients are varied, the work is interesting, and you’ll get exposure that actually helps you move your career forward — not just churn through jobs.

Your new role
This is a great step up for a newly or recently qualified ACA/ACCA auditor ready to take a bit more ownership.
You’ll be involved in audits from planning right through to completion, with real responsibility but plenty of support around you.
Day to day, you’ll be:
  • Leading audits on a range of clients (with support where needed)
  • Reviewing financial statements and identifying key risk areas
  • Managing timelines, budgets and keeping things on track
  • Supporting and mentoring juniors (without being expected to manage a team overnight)
  • Building strong, confident relationships with clients
  • Getting involved in more technical and interesting areas as you progress
It’s a role where you can actually develop your judgement, not just follow last year’s file.


What you'll need to succeed

  • Experience in external audit within an accountancy practice
  • ACA / ACCA qualified or newly qualified (or very close)
  • Strong grounding in UK GAAP and audit standards
  • Confidence speaking to clients and taking ownership of your work
  • Ability to manage multiple jobs without burning out
  • Exposure to any of the below is a bonus (but not essential):
    • Group audits / consolidations
    • IFRS or overseas entities
    • More complex assignments (acquisitions, reorganisations, etc.)
    • You must already have the right to work in the UK (no sponsorship available)

What you'll get in return

  • Clear, realistic progression (no “wait 3 years and see”)
  • A supportive team that doesn’t throw you in at the deep end
  • Proper exposure to interesting and technical work
  • Ongoing development as you move beyond newly qualified level
  • A genuinely collaborative culture — not cut‑throat

What you need to do now

If you're an Audit Senior looking for supportive practice with strong technical work and real career opportunity, get in touch and I’ll share the full details confidentially.
