This is a technically engaging role with real variety and genuine responsibility from day one. Reporting into an Audit Manager, you'll take ownership of audit assignments from planning through to completion, working across a broad portfolio of mid-size and large clients, both UK-based and international. You'll also play a key part in developing junior team members, reviewing their work and supporting their growth.

Prepare and review accounts in accordance with UK GAAP or IFRS
Supervise and review the work of junior colleagues, providing coaching and constructive feedback
Build and maintain strong working relationships with clients, acting as a trusted point of contact
Identify and assess key audit risks, escalating where appropriate
Collaborate with wider audit and advisory teams to deliver a quality, on-time service
Leverage technology and digital tools to work efficiently across remote and on-site engagements
The successful Audit Senior will have:
ACA, ACCA, or CA qualified (or studying towards), with recent experience in audit and assurance within an accountancy practice
Proven ability to lead audit assignments end-to-end with minimal supervision
Strong technical knowledge of ISAs, UK GAAP, and/or IFRS
Experience reviewing junior team members' work and supporting their development
Excellent communication skills, comfortable engaging with both clients and senior stakeholders
A proactive, ownership-driven mindset with a commitment to delivering high-quality work
