This is a great opportunity to build your technical skills, gain valuable client experience, and work towards qualification in a firm that truly invests in its people.

Key Responsibilities

• Support in the planning, execution, and completion of audits across a diverse client base
• Conduct audit testing and fieldwork, both remotely and on-site
• Prepare working papers and draft sections of financial statements
• Liaise directly with clients and assist with queries
• Work closely with senior team members and contribute to a collaborative team culture

What We’re Looking For

• ACA or ACCA part-qualified with 1–2 years’ audit experience (ideally in practice)
• Good working knowledge of UK GAAP and FRS 102
• Strong attention to detail and a proactive attitude
• Excellent communication and organisational skills
• Keen to progress within a supportive, learning-focused environment

Why Join This Firm?

This is a fantastic opportunity for an ambitious part-qualified auditor to join a respected Top 15 firm offering real development, early responsibility, and excellent training support. You’ll benefit from hybrid working, a structured qualification path, and exposure to a wide variety of sectors and client types. Expect a friendly, inclusive team, where your growth is genuinely prioritised.
