Audit Manager - Because You're Ready for More Than Just Managing Checklists
Most Audit Manager roles sound the same. This one doesn't.
Our client is one of the UK's fastest-growing accountancy firms. They're ambitious, innovative, and looking for an Audit Manager who wants to do more than just keep the wheels turning.
What's in it for you?
1. A firm that values ideas, not just billable hours.
2. A clear path for progression - because you've worked hard to get here.
3. A hybrid working model that gives you flexibility without sacrificing collaboration.
What you'll be doing:
4. Leading audit engagements across a varied client portfolio (no two days the same).
5. Managing risk, quality, and client relationships like a pro.
6. Coaching and developing your team so they actually enjoy working with you.
7. Working closely with Partners on strategy, proposals, and business development.
What we're looking for:
8. ACA, ACCA, or CA qualified (or equivalent).
9. Solid external audit experience in a UK practice.
10. Strong technical knowledge of UK GAAP (FRS 102) and IFRS.
11. Someone who can lead, influence, and still keep a sense of humour.
What you'll get:
12. Competitive salary and benefits.
13. Private medical insurance and enhanced pension contributions.
14. Generous holiday allowance (with the option to buy more).
15. Hybrid working and flexibility that actually works.
16. Career development that's more than just a buzzword.
If you're tired of Audit Manager roles that feel like Groundhog Day, this could be the change you've been waiting for.
