Ready to Take the Lead and step up as Audit Director?
Join a high-growth and tremendously ambitious Belfast-based firm that are seeing growth in excess of 20% year on year. Growth like this needs to be managed correctly, therefore the requirement to appoint a new partner to the existing leadership group exists.
At this firm, you'll get real ownership, progression opportunity to Partner (with equity), and the chance to make a lasting impact.

Audit Director
to join this group and lead a strong team of Managers and Accountants (some home-grown, some recently appointed from Big 4). If you're ready to step into a leadership role with autonomy and influence, this could be your perfect next move.
