• Managing and mentoring team members on each project engagement team to continually develop the team's skills and experience
• Building successful client relationships with a positive "can do" attitude to challenges and the agility to multitask effectively across competing priorities
• Researching difficult audit technical issues and being a trusted advisor to our clients
• Working closely with internal teams, as well as clients to identify business development opportunities that will add value to our client's business

Skills & experience

• Previous audit experience in a mid-tier or Big 4 professional services firm is preferable
• Must be CA qualified or hold similar relevant overseas qualification
• Strong communication and consultation skills enabling you to deal directly and effectively with company owners/CEOs/CFOs and other stakeholders
• Strong project management skills - ability to manage competing priorities at the one time and deliver engagements in a timely manner
• Problem solving and analytical skills to provide effective solutions for our clients and prevent risk
• Collaborative and consultative approach to working with diverse internal stakeholders from Associates up to Partners
• Excellent business development skills enabling you to build strong relationships and identify opportunities in our client's business
