- Managing your own workload against agreed deadlines and budgets, including identifying, researching, and resolving accounting and audit queries
- Working closely with the Audit Senior and Audit Manager to deliver high-quality, well-coordinated engagements
- Taking a proactive approach to your own continuing professional development through training and hands-on experience
- Delivering consistently strong client service across all interactions
What We're Looking For
- Part-qualified ICAEW (ACA), having completed at least the first year of professional examinations
- A minimum of one year's experience working within an accountancy practice
- A solid working knowledge of UK GAAP and International Standards on Auditing (ISAs), with the confidence to apply this in a practical setting
- Familiarity with audit and statutory accounts software
- Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to build positive relationships with both clients and colleagues
- A proactive, solutions-focused approach and a genuine enthusiasm for learning and developing professionally
Nice to Have
- Experience working within a boutique or specialist practice environment
- Openness to adopting new systems and technology as the firm continues to evolve
- A collaborative mindset and comfort contributing ideas within a small team
Why Join
- A respected boutique practice with a strong reputation for technical excellence and quality client service
- A genuinely supportive team culture where your ideas are welcomed and your efforts are recognised
- Structured training and development opportunities, with clear progression as the department grows
- A collaborative working environment where your input makes a tangible difference
