Audit Senior

With a fast-evolving structure and offices across the UK, Ireland, and the Nordics, this firm offers the best of both worlds: the stability of a major practice and the agility of a progressive, people-first business.

They\’re now looking for an experienced Audit Senior to join their growing team. This is a great opportunity for someone ready to take on more responsibility, drive audit quality, manage client relationships, and lead audit teams — all while continuing to develop professionally in a supportive and technically excellent environment.

The Role – What You\’ll Be Doing:

• Leading audits from planning through to completion, including risk assessment and the design of audit procedures tailored to engagement-specific risks.
• Managing budgets and job progress, flagging any overruns or additional services required and communicating effectively with managers and clients.
• Reviewing and preparing statutory financial statements under UK GAAP and IFRS, with a strong grasp of complex or non-standard transactions and their audit implications.
• Leading internal planning, progress, and close meetings, ensuring critical issues are addressed and clearly understood by the team.
• Supervising audit fieldwork and ensuring testing is thorough, efficient, and continually improved through lessons learned and points forward.
• Supporting workflow management and flexible team resourcing based on deadlines and client needs.
• Mentoring and developing junior team members, providing technical guidance, feedback, and hands-on support to strengthen their growth.

What They\’re Looking For:

• ACA / ACCA / CA qualified (or equivalent).
• Solid experience in audit across a range of sectors, with a proven ability to manage audits independently.
• Strong understanding of audit and accounting standards (UK GAAP, IFRS), including experience with group audits and unusual or complex transactions.
• Excellent organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple tasks and deadlines effectively.

What\’s On Offer:

• Real responsibility from day one — with support from a dedicated learning & development team.
• Clear career progression and the opportunity to own a client portfolio.
• A genuinely people-first culture, backed by strong leadership and values.
• Hybrid/flexible working arrangements and a modern approach to work-life balance.
• Ongoing technical training and professional development to support your continued growth.

If you\’re an experienced auditor looking to step up into a technically rewarding and leadership-oriented role, this is an exciting opportunity to join a forward-thinking and highly respected firm.
