Job description

NXTGEN is excited to be working with a longstanding client who is looking to grow their Norwich Corporate Services team during an exciting period of expansion. This is a unique opportunity for an Audit Manager to join a business where you can make a real impact, lead a team, and play a key role in shaping strategic decisions, while actively contributing to the growth of the client portfolio alongside an experienced and genuinely approachable Partner.

If you’re an experienced Manager looking for a change, this role will allow you to step into a position where your expertise is valued, your ideas influence the business, and your leadership drives real results. Alternatively, if you’re an experienced Assistant Manager ready to take the step up, accustomed to supporting indirect reports or junior members of the team, this could be the perfect chance to move into management and shape your career trajectory.

This isn’t your typical practice role in the Norfolk market – it’s an opportunity to take on responsibility, lead a high‑performing team, and work on diverse client portfolios, all while contributing to the growth and direction of the business.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead and manage audit engagements for a variety of clients across multiple sectors.
• Act as the main point of contact for clients, building strong relationships and providing high‑quality advice.
• Mentor, train, and develop junior staff, fostering a motivated and high‑performing team culture.
• Oversee the preparation and review of financial statements, ensuring compliance and quality.
• Play an active role in strategic business decisions, contributing to the growth and development of the firm.
• Support the firm’s expansion initiatives and help identify new business opportunities.

What We’re Looking For:

• ACA, ACCA, or equivalent qualified.
• Proven experience at Manager level, with strong audit expertise, or an experienced Assistant Manager ready to step up.
• Excellent leadership skills, with experience managing or mentoring direct/indirect reports.
• Strong technical knowledge of auditing standards and financial reporting.
• Outstanding interpersonal and communication skills to develop relationships with clients and team members.
• Ambition and drive, with a proactive approach and desire to contribute to business strategy.

This Audit Manager role offers a clear pathway upwards, depending on your ambitions, and the chance to make a tangible impact in a growing, innovative firm. If you’re looking for a role that goes beyond the typical practice opportunities in Norfolk, this is the position for you.

Salary: Competitive and dependent on experience.
