Our client, a Top 40 UK accountancy and advisory firm supporting entrepreneurs, high-net-worth individuals and owner-managed businesses, is looking for an Audit Senior to join their close-knit Assurance team in London.
Why This Firm
This is a firm that's grown fast in a short space of time, expanding through a run of mergers and acquisitions and climbing into the UK's Top 40 accountancy firms as a result. It's backed by private investment and holds certified B Corp status, rare among accountancy firms of its size, alongside national industry awards recognising both its tax team and its record as an employer. For an Audit Senior, that mix of scale and recognition tends to mean wider client exposure and genuine progression, rather than a fixed, narrow remit.
What The Job Actually Involves
- Managing the full audit lifecycle across a genuinely varied client base, from planning and risk assessment through to fieldwork, documentation and reporting
- Identifying and evaluating high-risk areas, designing appropriate audit procedures and clearly documenting findings
- Mentoring and coaching junior auditors, providing on-the-job guidance and supporting their progression
- Managing engagement budgets and time reporting, keeping jobs on track and on budget
- Building strong, lasting client relationships through professional, insightful communication
- Maintaining clear communication with managers, escalating issues and resolving complex matters collaboratively
What You'll Need
- ACA, ACCA, CA or an equivalent internationally recognised qualification (newly qualified or experienced)
- At least three years' UK audit experience with a reputable firm
- Strong understanding of auditing standards, UK GAAP and IFRS
- Proven experience leading audits from planning through to completion
- Excellent communication and client relationship skills, with a genuine interest in developing others
What's On Offer
Alongside a competitive salary, you'll get a fully-funded private medical plan, life cover, and a pension scheme with salary sacrifice options. There's a strong benefits package built around flexibility too, including hybrid working, an Electric Vehicle scheme and a Cycle to Work scheme. The firm invests heavily in wellbeing, with trained in-house Mental Health First Aiders and access to an Employee Assistance Programme, plus a genuinely collaborative culture where autonomy is real and progression isn't just talked about: several current directors have been recognised among the industry's rising stars under 35.
If you're an experienced auditor looking for a role with genuine ownership at a firm that's growing fast and investing in its people, we'd love to hear from you.
