Why join this firm?

This well-established and growing accountancy practice has built an excellent reputation for delivering high-quality work to a specialist client base.

Unlike many firms where responsibilities can become highly specialised, you'll develop experience across audit, statutory accounts and advisory assignments, giving you broader technical and commercial exposure.

With continued business growth comes genuine opportunity. You'll take ownership of engagements early, work closely with Partners and play a meaningful role in delivering high-quality work while building long-term client relationships.

The role

As an Audit Senior, you'll lead audit engagements from planning through to completion while acting as the primary point of contact for clients throughout the process.

You'll also support and develop junior colleagues while contributing to the continued growth and success of the team.

Key responsibilities

• Lead audit engagements from planning through to completion
• Manage audit delivery, ensuring work is completed to a high technical standard
• Act as the primary client contact throughout engagements, building trusted relationships with stakeholders at all levels
• Prepare and review statutory accounts
• Supervise, review and mentor junior team members
• Identify opportunities to improve processes and support best practice across the team

About you

You'll have:

• 2-5 years' audit experience gained within a UK accountancy practice
• ACA/ACCA qualified, finalist or part-qualified with a commitment to completing your qualification
• Strong knowledge of UK GAAP and ISAs (UK)
• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills
• Confidence explaining technical matters to both financial and non-financial stakeholders

Desirable experience includes:

• IFRS exposure
• Statutory accounts preparation
• Experience across both audit and accounts preparation

Who this role suits

This opportunity is ideal for an Audit Senior looking for greater responsibility, broader technical exposure and a more commercially focused role than many traditional accountancy practices can offer.

You'll enjoy building client relationships, taking ownership of your work and developing beyond audit into a more rounded advisory-focused accountant, with a clear route to progression as the firm continues to grow.
