Audit Partner
Central Hertfordshire
£160,000-£220,000 + Profit Share + Partnership
An established portfolio. A respected team. The chance to leave your own legacy.
Partnership opportunities don't often come with an established portfolio, an experienced leadership team and genuine succession planning already in place. This one does.
We're working with a highly regarded national accountancy practice looking to appoint an Audit Partner to take over a significant portfolio following a planned retirement. Rather than spending years building a client base from scratch, you'll inherit an established portfolio worth over £1 million in annual fees, while helping shape the next chapter of an already successful regional office.
The client portfolio is diverse, but one area is particularly important. The firm has built an outstanding reputation advising charities, education providers and wider not-for-profit organisations alongside entrepreneurial owner-managed businesses. They're looking for someone who enjoys working across both sectors and can bring credibility with trustees, finance directors, business owners and boards alike.
What you'll be responsible for
- Taking ownership of an established £1m+ audit portfolio.
- Acting as lead Partner across a broad range of charities, academies, education providers, owner-managed businesses and growing SMEs.
- Supporting boards, trustees and senior leadership teams with strategic advice beyond the audit.
- Growing the firm's presence across Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire through networking and relationship development.
- Coaching and mentoring Directors and future Responsible Individuals.
- Driving audit quality while maintaining the collaborative culture the office is known for.
- Working alongside fellow Partners on succession planning and long-term regional growth.
