Who are we looking for?

• An experienced Audit Senior Manager or Audit Director, ideally currently working within a Top 10 accounting and audit firm.
• Current, hands-on experience auditing listed companies, ideally including major French listed groups.
• Strong technical expertise in statutory audit, financial reporting, IFRS and complex group audits.
• Proven experience leading large audit engagements, managing substantial teams and building senior client relationships.
• A commercially minded individual who is motivated to develop new business, win clients and contribute to the growth of the practice.
