Competitive Salary + Partnership Pathway
The Role
As an Audit Director, you will work closely with Partners and senior leadership to lead client engagements, develop client relationships, and contribute to the strategic growth of the audit function.
You will oversee a diverse portfolio of clients, ranging from owner‑managed businesses to larger corporate groups, ensuring audit assignments are delivered to the highest technical and professional standards.

You will take responsibility for leading audit teams on complex engagements, supporting audit quality and compliance standards, and driving continuous improvement across the department.

Alongside client responsibilities, you will play an important role in mentoring and developing team members, helping to build future leaders and maintain a collaborative, high‑performing culture.
This position offers a genuine route to Partnership and the opportunity to influence the future direction of a growing audit practice.

You will have experience managing complex audit assignments, developing client relationships, and leading teams. Strong technical knowledge, commercial awareness, and a proactive approach to business development are essential.
Excellent communication and leadership skills are key, alongside the ability to build trusted relationships with clients, colleagues, and stakeholders. Previous experience mentoring and developing team members would also be highly advantageous.
You will be ambitious, commercially minded, and motivated by the opportunity to play a significant role in the growth and success of a progressive professional services firm.
