Job description

Audit Senior - Epsom
£50,000-£60,000 + benefits
Hybrid working

I'm working with a growing, forward-thinking accountancy and business advisory firm that is looking to appoint an Audit Senior into its Epsom office.

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys leading audit assignments, building proper client relationships and being part of a collaborative, people-focused firm with strong regional presence and national backing.

The firm works with a broad SME client base and offers the feel of a close-knit local team, while also providing the structure, resources and career opportunity of a much larger organisation. It is a strong fit for someone who wants variety, progression and the chance to take real ownership of client work.

As Audit Senior, you will take a lead role across audit assignments from planning through to completion, ensuring work is delivered accurately, efficiently and to a high standard.

You will work closely with clients, junior team members and managers/partners, helping to deliver a high-quality service while developing trusted client relationships.

Responsibilities will include:

• Leading audit assignments from planning to completion

• Preparing high-quality audit files and supporting documentation

• Reviewing accounting data and identifying key issues or recommendations

• Ensuring work complies with audit methodology, regulatory standards and risk procedures

• Building strong relationships with new and existing clients

• Acting as a trusted contact for client queries

• Supporting and mentoring junior members of the team

• Preparing and reviewing client documents, including accounts, tax, PAYE and VAT-related work where required

• Managing deadlines and preparing work for sign-off

• Helping improve efficiency through best practice, systems and technology

What They're Looking For

The firm is keen to speak with audit professionals who are confident, organised and client-focused.

You will ideally have:

• ACA or ACCA qualification, although part-qualified candidates will also be considered

• Previous audit experience within an accountancy practice

• Strong communication and interpersonal skills

• Good organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple deadlines

• A dependable, professional and self-motivated approach

• Strong attention to detail and a commitment to high-quality work

• Confidence using Microsoft Office and relevant accountancy/audit software

Why Apply?

This is a strong opportunity to join a growing firm that can offer genuine long-term career development, a supportive team environment and access to a varied client base.

The package includes:

• £50,000-£60,000 + benefits

• Hybrid working

• Company pension scheme

• 25 days' annual leave + bank holidays

• Additional annual leave from certain levels of seniority

• Option to buy up to 5 additional days' annual leave

• Business closure over Christmas, subject to business needs

• Life assurance at 4x annual salary

• Enhanced family leave policies

• Enhanced company sick pay

• Employee Assistance Programme with 24/7 confidential support

• Corporate discounts platform

• Flexible benefits platform, including options such as private medical insurance, critical illness cover, cash plan, cycle to work, eye care and dental cover

This would suit an Audit Semi Senior ready to step up, or an existing Audit Senior looking for a broader platform, better support and a more progressive environment.
