Audit Senior

I'm working with a growing, forward-thinking accountancy and business advisory firm that is looking to appoint an Audit Senior into its Epsom office. This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys leading audit assignments, building proper client relationships and being part of a collaborative, people-focused firm with strong regional presence and national backing. The firm works with a broad SME client base and offers the feel of a close-knit local team, while also providing the structure, resources and career opportunity of a much larger organisation. It is a strong fit for someone who wants variety, progression and the chance to take real ownership of client work.

As Audit Senior, you will take a lead role across audit assignments from planning through to completion, ensuring work is delivered accurately, efficiently and to a high standard. You will work closely with clients, junior team members and managers/partners, helping to deliver a high-quality service while developing trusted client relationships.

Responsibilities

• Leading audit assignments from planning to completion
• Preparing high-quality audit files and supporting documentation
• Reviewing accounting data and identifying key issues or recommendations

• Supporting and mentoring junior members of the team
• Preparing and reviewing client documents, including accounts, tax, PAYE and VAT-related work where required
• Managing deadlines and preparing work for sign-off
• Helping improve efficiency through best practice, systems and technology

What They're Looking For

• ACA or ACCA qualification, although part-qualified candidates will also be considered
• Previous audit experience within an accountancy practice
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills
• Good organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple deadlines
• A dependable, professional and self-motivated approach
• Strong attention to detail and a commitment to high-quality work
• Confidence using Microsoft Office and relevant accountancy/audit software

Why Apply?

This is a strong opportunity to join a growing firm that can offer genuine long-term career development, a supportive team environment and access to a varied client base.

The package includes:

• £50,000-£60,000 + benefits
• Hybrid working
• Company pension scheme
