If you’re ready to make an impact, lead with purpose, and work in a place where your voice truly matters, keep reading!

We’re looking for a Part-Qualified Audit Senior or Semi-Senior to join our high-performing Audit & Assurance team in our Manchester office. This is your chance to be part of an accountancy firm that values its people as much as its clients. If you’re passionate about working with ambitious businesses, from growing international groups to established corporates then you could fit right in!

Due to high growth at Menzies, we are growing our corporate audit team in Manchester, you will be part of an established supportive team, and have the opportunity to build on your current technical knowledge.

Why Menzies?

At Menzies, our culture is our cornerstone. We blend technical excellence with genuine care for our people and clients. With 750 colleagues in the UK, we’ve built a culture based on shared values and mutual respect. Here’s why you’ll love working with us:

• 🌟 People First: Our work-life balance isn’t just talk. From agile working to generous leave, we create space for what matters to you.

• 🌟 Empathy at Our Core: We don’t just serve our clients; we build trusted relationships that stand the test of time.

What’s the Role About?

The successful candidate will join our growing audit team in Manchester. Reporting directly to an audit Manager, you will be responsible for supervising the progress of audit assignments from planning through to completion. You will also be reviewing the work of junior colleagues as well as coaching and supporting them in their development. Our audit engagements may take place remotely or on client sites, so you will utilise a range of technological solutions in addition to your people skills to deliver a quality service, on time and on budget, working in collaboration with the wider audit team to delight our clients.

What we’re looking for

Are you AAT qualified or progressing towards your ACA/ACCA qualification with the professional/applied skills stage completed? We’re looking for a driven professional with at least 18 months’ experience in Audit and Assurance within an accountancy practice, including leading external audit assignments from fieldwork to completion under International Standards on Auditing.

If you’re motivated, a team player who can also work independently, and committed to delivering high-quality service, we’d love to hear from you! Knowledge of Caseware software and Mercia audit methodologies is a bonus but not essential. Candidates must have UK work eligibility without restrictions.
