Location: London | Hybrid Working
A leading accountancy practice is seeking an accomplished and strategic Senior Audit Manager to lead a key portfolio of clients within the hospitality sector. This is a high-impact opportunity for an experienced audit professional who thrives on building client relationships, delivering technical excellence, and mentoring others within a growing and dynamic division.
You’ll work closely with a variety of high-profile clients—ranging from hotels and restaurants to pub groups—while taking ownership of the end-to-end audit process and contributing to wider firm initiatives.
This role is ideal for someone ready to take on broader leadership responsibility, with a clear route to progression and the chance to shape both client delivery and team development.
The Opportunity
As a Senior Audit Manager, you will take a lead role in managing the statutory audit process across a complex and growing portfolio. In addition to ensuring high-quality delivery, you’ll act as a senior point of contact for clients, oversee a team of audit professionals, and support the strategic direction of the department.
This position offers excellent exposure, the ability to work autonomously, and the chance to influence firm-wide improvements in audit quality, client service, and internal processes.

* Leading client meetings and representing the firm on new business pitches

* Supporting department-wide resource planning, fee recovery, and efficiency
* Working with Partners on strategy, team management, and business development
Ideal Candidate Profile
* Extensive experience managing audits in a client-facing practice role
* A strong understanding of UK GAAP, ISA standards, and audit methodology
* Sector knowledge in hospitality is advantageous, but not essential
* Strong team leadership and coaching abilities
* Excellent communication skills—confident, articulate and client-focused
* Commercially aware with sound judgement and a solutions-focused mindset
* Comfortable managing large and complex portfolios and teams
* Proficient in audit software such as Caseware or equivalent
