If you’ve built your foundation in audit and realised you want to be closer to how businesses manage risk, not just report on it, this is the move.
This is a chance to step into a high-growth Financial Services Risk & Controls team, working with major banking clients on the design, transformation and remediation of their internal control environments.
Why this role stands out:
You’ll be working on real-world control challenges inside complex banking environments—helping clients fix broken frameworks, respond to regulation, and build systems that actually stand up to scrutiny.
Think:
* SOX and internal controls design & testing
* Risk and controls framework transformation
* Governance reviews and remediation programmes
* Finance, Risk & Compliance operating model redesign
* Large-scale regulatory and business transformation projects
You’ll be advising clients where financial reporting meets controls—and that’s exactly why your audit background matters.
What you’ll be doing:
* Leading client engagements across non-financial risk, controls and compliance
* Translating financial reporting knowledge into robust control frameworks
* Managing and developing junior team members
* Building relationships with senior stakeholders across banking clients
* Delivering insights that go beyond compliance into commercial impact
What they’re looking for:
You’ll likely come from one of the following routes:
* CA/ACA/ACCA trained in external audit, then moved into:
* Internal Audit
* SOX / Controls
* Risk Advisory / Consulting
* Or similar within a banking environment
OR an FS Audit Assistant Manager ready to step up, with strong exposure to:
* Financial reporting
* Controls testing
* Risk awareness beyond pure audit
You’ll bring:
* A clear understanding of how financial reporting links to internal controls
* Experience working with risk and control frameworks
* Confidence dealing with senior stakeholders
* The ability to operate in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment
