Most RI roles that reach the market are really about signing off someone else's files. This one is closer to owning the audit function. An independent Central London accountancy firm is looking to appoint an Audit RI. They have a settled client base and a steady audit portfolio, and they want someone who will take responsibility for the quality of the work, develop the people doing it, and have a genuine say in where the department goes next.
It would suit an experienced Audit Director, Senior Manager or existing RI who has more capability than their current firm has room for.
The role:
- Acting as Responsible Individual across a portfolio of audits, from planning through to sign off
- Setting the standard for audit quality and holding the team to it
- File review, and being the person managers and seniors come to with the technical questions
- Staying close to existing clients and getting involved in new work
- Working with the partners on how the audit offering develops
What they're looking for:
- ACA or ACCA qualified, with UK practice audit experience
- RI status already held, or a strong case for obtaining it
- Confident on current ISA (UK) requirements and comfortable defending a file
- Someone who wants to lead a team, not just carry a portfolio
What's on offer:
- Central London office, hybrid working
- Scope to shape the audit function rather than inherit a fixed process
- Direct partner contact from the start
- A realistic route to partner for the right person
If you're an RI, or close to it, and want an off the record conversation about what this could look like, get in touch. Nothing goes anywhere without your say so.
