Job description

Audit Senior Shrewsbury Flexible working

There is a point in an audit career where you stop being told what to do on a job and start being the one running it. This role sits exactly there.

An established independent firm in Shrewsbury is looking for an Audit Senior to take day-to-day ownership of audit assignments across a genuinely mixed portfolio. Owner-managed businesses, groups, charities, FCA-regulated clients, solicitors, manufacturing and agri-business all sit within the client base, so no two jobs look quite the same.

You will be leading fieldwork, acting as the main point of contact while you are on site, and handing over a file that is ready for manager review. Trainees will be working alongside you, and part of the role is bringing them on.

WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING

• Leading audit fieldwork from planning through to completion
• Preparing draft statutory accounts and corporation tax computations
• Being the client's day-to-day contact during the audit
• Reviewing and coaching trainees on the job
• Spotting issues early and dealing with them, rather than passing them up unopened

WHAT THEY'RE LOOKING FOR

• ACA or ACCA qualified, or a finalist with solid audit experience behind you
• Two to three years' external audit experience in UK practiceConfident running your own fieldwork
• Good with FRS 102, and happy to pick up specialist frameworks like the Charities SORP

WHAT'S ON OFFER

• Great salary. plus exceptional benefits
• Flexible working, with three to five days per week considered
• A varied portfolio rather than the same handful of clients every year
• A clear route to Audit Client Manager
• Proper support behind you, not just a target and a deadline

If you are at the stage where you want more responsibility on the job and a firm that will back you to take it, this is worth a conversation.
