Audit Senior

Qualified in Audit and ready for more ownership? We're working with an established professional services business looking for a qualified Audit Senior to join its Jersey team. This is the perfect opportunity for someone looking for a culture shift, more autonomy and a better work life balance!

This is a strong opportunity for an ACA or ACCA qualified accountant who wants to take the lead on audit assignments, develop junior colleagues and build trusted relationships directly with clients and senior stakeholders.

The Opportunity

You'll take responsibility for audit engagements from planning right through to completion, managing multiple assignments and acting as an important link between clients, junior colleagues, Managers and Directors. It's a role offering genuine ownership. You'll manage deadlines, review junior work, identify risk areas and provide technical guidance, while continuing to develop your own technical and leadership capabilities.

What You'll Be Doing

• Leading audit assignments from planning through to completion.
• Building strong relationships with clients and dealing directly with audit-related queries.
• Managing multiple assignments and ensuring statutory deadlines are met.
• Preparing and reviewing audit working papers.
• Providing technical advice across accounting, audit and taxation matters where appropriate.
• Monitoring assignments against budget and communicating significant variances.
• Managing and prioritising junior team workloads.
• Reviewing junior colleagues' work and identifying areas for development.
• Communicating progress clearly with clients, Managers and Directors.
• Taking ownership of delivering high-quality, compliant audit work.

What We're Looking For

• ACA or ACCA qualified.
• Strong technical knowledge of audit and accounting requirements.
• Previous experience managing audit assignments and competing deadlines.
• Confidence dealing with senior stakeholders.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Excellent accuracy and attention to detail.
• Someone comfortable supporting, guiding and reviewing the work of junior colleagues.
• A professional, accountable approach with strong technical judgement.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Take ownership of audit assignments rather than simply contributing to them.
• Gain direct exposure to clients and senior stakeholders.
• Develop valuable leadership experience through managing and supporting junior colleagues.
• Work closely with Managers and Directors on complex audit matters.
• Continue developing your technical expertise as a qualified professional.
• Build experience across audit, accounting and broader technical advisory matters.

(Whilst we do have a license for the role, we can only accept applications from UK/Jersey based applicants)
