Senior Auditor in Chesterfield

Sharp Consultancy is delighted to be the retained recruitment partner for a well‑established regional accountancy firm in Chesterfield as they continue to expand their Audit service line with the appointment of an Audit Senior. This newly created position follows a significant acquisition that has further strengthened their presence in the region and supports their ongoing growth trajectory.

The audit portfolio is packed with a variety of different businesses – from smaller, more local organisations, right the way through to big national names headquartered in South Yorkshire. This breadth provides an excellent platform for post‑qualification development, including the opportunity to mentor junior colleagues and enhance leadership skills, offering excellent softer skill development.

In my opinion, this is a fantastic opportunity for someone ACA / ACCA qualified within practice who enjoys the technical depth of audit and wants to make their mark on a large and diverse client base. The role is planned with continuous development and progression in mind, meaning there is a pathway to advance into management while gaining exposure to an ambitious audit function.
