Global markets have been thriving, with significant funding to invest in the right business, and the opportunity to support our clients has never been greater. In our Audit and Assurance business, this includes Reporting Accountant roles, Special Purpose Audits, and many other bespoke Assurance projects.
To support this growth, we have a fantastic opportunity for Assistant Managers to join our Transactions Assurance team. You will work with companies on the audit and assurance requirements of both UK and US initial public offerings, and with a wide variety of project-based assurance and accounting topics, including carve-out transactions, acquisitions, and opening balance sheet audits. You will be responsible for delivering these assurance engagements, working alongside our Capital Markets and Due Diligence teams where relevant.
We appreciate that everybody has their own unique circumstances, and we will do our best to accommodate yours, creating a schedule that works for you. Transaction-based work will have natural peaks and troughs, both demanding and providing flexibility to our teams to balance the needs of our clients with a work-life balance. Our Intelligent Working scheme covers flexible working options, including part-time work, working from home part-time, or unpaid leave arrangements. Many team members currently utilize our flexible working policy. Follow the link below to learn more about how this works for them and how you could benefit too:
