Part-Qualified Auditor

Your new company is an established accountancy practice seeking a Part-Qualified Auditor to join its growing team. This is an excellent opportunity for an ACA or ACCA part-qualified accountant who wants to continue developing their audit experience while maintaining strong exposure to accounts preparation and general practice work.

Working within a smaller practice environment, you will benefit from hands-on involvement throughout assignments rather than being restricted to one element of the audit process. You will work closely with senior accountants and partners and gain exposure to a varied portfolio of owner-managed businesses. The position will primarily involve a mixture of external audit and year-end accounts preparation.

Your new role:

• Assist with the planning, fieldwork and completion of statutory audit assignments.
• Undertake audit testing across key financial statement areas.
• Prepare audit working papers and supporting documentation.
• Identify audit issues and discuss findings with senior team members and clients.
• Assist with the preparation of statutory financial statements.
• Prepare year-end accounts for limited companies, partnerships and sole traders.
• Complete accounts from trial balance and client accounting records.
• Perform bank, control account and balance sheet reconciliations.
• Review accounting records and investigate discrepancies.
• Liaise directly with clients to obtain information and resolve queries.
• Assist in ensuring assignments are completed within agreed deadlines.
• Maintain accurate and well-organised working papers.
• Support more senior members of the team across a variety of client assignments.
• Develop a good understanding of clients' businesses and accounting requirements.

What you'll need to succeed:

• Be part-qualified ACA or ACCA, or actively working towards a recognised accountancy qualification.
• Have previous experience working within an accountancy practice.
• Have practical experience of external audit assignments.
• Have experience preparing year-end accounts and financial statements.
• Be comfortable working across several clients and assignments simultaneously.
• Have good knowledge of Microsoft Excel and accounting software.
• Possess strong attention to detail and organisational skills.
• Be confident communicating directly with clients.
• Be keen to continue developing technically and progress towards full qualification.

What you'll get in return:

• Competitive salary based on experience and exam progress.
• Full ACA / ACCA study support.
• Paid professional exams and training, depending on the firm's package.
• Exposure to a broad and varied client portfolio.
• Hands-on experience across both audit and accounts.
• Direct access to experienced senior accountants and partners.
• Clear opportunity to progress towards qualification and a more senior position.
• Supportive environment within a smaller practice where you can gain broader experience than you may receive in a highly departmentalised firm.
