We're recruiting on behalf of a respected and long-established independent accountancy practice to appoint an experienced and strategically minded Audit Partner (RI). This is a key leadership role with real influence and long-term progression potential, forming part of the firm's wider succession planning.
The position involves overseeing a diverse portfolio of audits across a broad mix of clients, including SMEs, academies, and local authorities. While some offices manage smaller audits, others handle more substantial engagements, creating a varied and stimulating workload. Candidates from medium-sized firms will likely find the transition smooth, while those from larger firms may enjoy the broader remit and hands-on involvement.
The successful candidate will be ACA or ACCA qualified, with RI status and a strong technical background in UK audit. Proven experience operating at Director or Partner level within a UK accountancy firm is essential, along with the ability to lead teams, support client relationships, and contribute to ongoing practice development.
This opportunity has arisen due to planned succession and offers a clear route to senior regional leadership and potential equity for the right individual.
