Your New Company

This is a rare opportunity to take on a genuine Partner-level position with the scope to influence how both the role and the wider tax offering develop.

You’ll join an ambitious and collaborative business where you can bring your own strengths, relationships and ideas and make a tangible impact.For an established Director who feels ready for partnership but may not have a clear route where they currently are, this could also provide a particularly interesting opportunity to explore that next step.

Your new role

As Audit Partner, you’ll take a leading role in developing the audit business across Scotland, combining senior client leadership with business development, people leadership and wider involvement in the growth of the firm.

You’ll build trusted relationships with clients and prospective clients, lead key audit relationships and work closely with colleagues across the wider business to identify opportunities and develop the firm’s presence in the Scottish market.

Importantly, this isn’t simply about inheriting and managing a portfolio. There will be genuine scope to develop relationships, win new work and help shape the direction of the audit offering in Glasgow and Edinburgh.

You’ll also play an important leadership role internally, supporting the development of the team and helping to create an environment where talented people can progress.

What You’ll Need To Succeed

You’ll be an experienced audit professional operating at Partner or Director level, with the credibility and ambition to take a leading role within a growing business.

You’ll be a qualified accountant, such as CA or ACA, with significant audit experience and a strong understanding of the responsibilities that come with leading client relationships and audit engagements.

You’ll combine technical credibility with strong commercial instincts, relationship-building skills and the confidence to represent the firm in the market. For someone currently operating at Director level, you’ll be able to demonstrate that you are ready to step beyond delivery and play a broader role in developing clients, people and the business.

What You’ll Get In Return

This is a rare opportunity to take on a genuine Partner-level position with the ability to influence the future development of audit practice in Scotland.

You’ll join an ambitious and collaborative business where you can bring your own relationships, experience and ideas and make a tangible impact on its growth.

For an established Audit Director who feels ready for partnership but doesn’t have a sufficiently clear route within their current firm, this could offer a particularly interesting alternative.
