We are seeking an experienced Senior Audit Manager to join our expanding audit team in Crawley, where you will manage a diverse portfolio of our larger more complex clients, including privately backed groups. This is an excellent opportunity for an aspiring professional who aligns with our core values and is passionate about supporting audit partners, helping clients achieve their goals, and fostering the growth and development of our audit team.
Due to high growth at Menzies we’re opening a new office in Gatwick, Crawley in early 2026, right in the heart of the Gatwick Diamond. It’s a fresh, modern space designed to support flexible, collaborative working, with good transport links and plenty of local amenities nearby. As we continue to grow, it’s a great time to be part of our team in one of the South East’s most connected and vibrant areas.

At Menzies, our culture is our cornerstone. We blend technical excellence with genuine care for our people and clients. With 750 colleagues in the UK, we’ve built a culture based on shared values and mutual respect. Here’s why you’ll love working with us:
🌟 People First: Our work-life balance isn’t just talk. From agile working to generous leave, we create space for what matters to you.

🌟 Innovate with Purpose: We’re always looking for better ways to work—leveraging tech, simplifying complexities, and delivering value.
🌟 Empathy at Our Core: We don’t just serve our clients; we build trusted relationships that stand the test of time.
What’s the Role About?
We’re seeking a driven Senior Audit Manager to lead a diverse client portfolio, delivering audits under FRS 102 and IFRS with minimal supervision. You’ll manage financial performance (WIP, billing, debt), mentor junior staff, and play a key role in client relationships and business development. Strong technical knowledge, leadership ability, and a proactive, commercial mindset is essential. This is a clear opportunity for progression, with support towards RI status for the right candidate. Join a collaborative firm where your expertise is valued, and your career can thrive.
What we’re looking for
We are looking for an ACA/ACCA-qualified Senior Audit Manager with grounded experience in an accountancy practice in an audit focussed role. The ideal candidate will have a competent technical understanding of accounting and auditing standards, experience leading group audits, and preparing consolidated accounts. Excellent communication and relationship-building skills are essential, along with the ability to manage complex projects and multiple stakeholders. You will be highly organised, proactive in problem-solving, and committed to delivering high-quality work. A keen eye for growth opportunities and a passion for developing and mentoring team members are key. Experience with CaseWare or Mercia methodologies is desirable.
