Job Description
Big 4 ACA? Your first move into industry should be a step up - not a step sideways.
If you've built your career auditing major Financial Services clients within the Big 4, you already know how to analyse risk, challenge controls and communicate with senior stakeholders.
But what if you could take those skills in-house - and actually see the impact of your work?
Churchill Howard are recruiting for a Senior Internal Auditor with a highly regarded Financial Services organisation in the West Midlands, offering something rarely available at this level:
Direct, regular exposure to the Board and C-Suite.
You'll present your own findings, challenge senior leaders and influence decisions - rather than spending your career preparing work for someone else to deliver.
Why make the move?
This isn't a "tick-box" Internal Audit role.
You'll gain broad commercial exposure across the business, work on strategic projects and change initiatives, use data analytics to identify emerging risks and build relationships with senior decision-makers.
It's the opportunity to move from auditing the business to understanding and influencing it.
You'll be involved in:
- Leading risk-based audit reviews across Financial Services.
- Delivering project and change assurance work.
- Using data analytics to identify trends, risks and opportunities.
- Challenging senior management on controls and emerging risks.
- Presenting findings and recommendations directly to senior stakeholders.
- Supporting an Internal Audit function that is genuinely valued by the business.
What we're looking for
We're particularly keen to speak with ACA-qualified Big 4 auditors looking to make their first move into industry.
You'll ideally have:
- ACA, ACCA, CIA or equivalent.
- Big 4 or strong Financial Services audit experience.
- A risk-based approach to audit.
- Confidence communicating with senior stakeholders.
- Exposure to change assurance and/or data analytics.
- Technology audit experience is advantageous, not essential.
In return there is a 2 days in the office hybrid working pattern, bonus and attractive salary and benefits package.
If you're a Big 4 ACA thinking "what next?", this is a conversation worth having.
