Job description

Shape the Future of Audit in Birmingham – Audit Director Opportunity

Ready to make your mark in a firm where growth, innovation, and people come first? A leading accountancy practice is opening a new chapter in Birmingham — and they’re looking for a seasoned Audit Director to lead the charge.

This is more than just a senior role. It’s a chance to help build a new office from the ground up, influence strategic direction, and fast-track your path to partnership.

*The Role

You’ll take ownership of the audit function in Birmingham alongside the Partner's, delivering high-quality services across corporate, not-for-profit, and charitable sectors. As part of the regional leadership team, you’ll shape expansion plans, attract and develop talented professionals, and grow a loyal client base through outstanding relationship management and commercial insight.

*Key Aspects of the Role:

Lead and grow a dynamic audit team in a new and exciting market

Take the reins on a varied portfolio of clients and complex audit engagements

Guide and support the development of team members at all levels

Partner with senior leadership to drive growth and establish a strong regional presence

Actively develop new business opportunities and deepen client relationships

*What We’re Looking For

Professionally qualified (ACA/ACCA or equivalent) with a track record in leading audit assignments

Skilled at building client trust and communicating with clarity and confidence

Passionate about leadership, mentoring, and team development

Ambitious and proactive with a strong network in the Birmingham business community

Commercially minded and eager to play a key role in regional expansion

Candidates who are currently a Senior Manager looking for that step up will be considered

*Why This Opportunity Stands Out

This is your chance to be part of something new, with the support of a firm that has consistently grown and outperformed the market. You’ll work in an environment that values your input, encourages autonomy, and champions flexibility and wellbeing.

*What’s in It for You

30 days annual leave plus bank holidays and a full office closure over Christmas

Flexible hybrid working to support balance and wellbeing

Generous pension contribution and life assurance

This firm is committed to creating an inclusive and supportive environment where everyone can thrive. Flexible working, part-time arrangements, and hybrid options are all available.
