Job description

About The Role

Our Audit team is growing following the acquisition of CavanaghKelly. We’ve expanded our remit to Northern Ireland and are looking for an Audit Assistant Manager to join the team. This is a client-facing role where you’ll work directly with business owners, finance leaders, and our senior management team.

Day To Day Responsibilities

An Audit Assistant Manager will be hands-on across a wide range of audit engagements—from established SMEs to fast-growing enterprises—gaining invaluable insight and experience. This is not a rigid, eyes-down and desk-bound role. You’ll get involved in:

• Leading audit assignments from planning to completion, both on-site and remotely
• Managing day-to-day client relationships and acting as a key point of contact
• Supporting and mentoring junior team members
• Working closely with partners and senior managers to deliver high-quality outcomes
• Exposure to a broad mix of industries and business types

Whether you’re coming from a Big 4 environment or a small-to-mid-sized practice, this is your chance to step into a role with greater autonomy, closer client relationships, and real exposure to senior decision-makers.

About You

At Cooper Parry, we’re in it together. All we ask of our people is that they play all in. You’ll continuously strive to keep learning – whether you’re a trainee or a Partner – and you’ll be brave, stepping out of your comfort zone to tackle new challenges. Above all, be nice. A simple notion, but an irreplaceable part of what makes CP, CP.

As an Audit Assistant Manager you’ll be a passionate and determined individual experienced in the field of audit with demonstrable experience.

• ACA/ACCA qualified
• A passion for problem-solving, team development, and delivering excellence

This is a chance to be part of something exciting. You’ll have a voice in shaping our audit approach, work with a high-performing team, and make a real impact. We’re growing fast, and we’re looking for people who want to grow with us.

About Us

We’ve been dubbed ‘the rebels of accountancy’. We’re straight-talking, never afraid to share our opinions. We put people and relationships before products and services, and deliver a streamlined, client-focused service – free from unnecessary red tape.
