Descripción del empleo

You'll have the autonomy to lead high-quality audit engagements, the platform to influence strategy, and the backing of a well-established national firm that continues to invest heavily in its mid-market and owner-managed business offering.

The role is designed for someone who already operates at Director level and is comfortable being accountable for both technical delivery and commercial outcomes. You'll work closely with ambitious business owners and leadership teams, often acting as a trusted adviser rather than just an auditor, with the opportunity to build long-term relationships that go well beyond compliance.

For a Responsible Individual looking to broaden their impact, this offers the chance to combine leadership, client influence and business development in an environment that values autonomy, quality and entrepreneurial thinking.

You'll lead on the review of complex audit files, provide clear direction to senior managers and teams, and ensure consistent quality across engagements. Alongside delivery, you'll play a central role in developing client relationships, identifying new opportunities, and supporting wider business development activity across the region.
