Job description

We're partnering with a forward-thinking audit firm that has experienced rapid growth in recent years and is now entering a phase of sustainable expansion. As part of an established international network, the firm is looking to welcome new team members who are passionate about audit and eager to grow their careers.

Why This Firm Stands Out?

Flexible & Supportive Work Culture
The firm offers excellent flexibility. You will be expected to work in the office three days a week during probation, but it is flexible thereafter, allowing you to work from abroad for up to four weeks a year.

The firm values trust and autonomy, fostering an inclusive team culture with monthly socials designed to suit everyone. You will even get to go abroad with the team once a year! The last event was a black-tie affair in Europe.

Environment and Progression
You will join a young, social office and work under partners who actively invest time in mentoring and development. The firm aims to promote from within, providing a clear path to Assistant Manager within 12-18 months.

Client Portfolio
You will have the opportunity to work with an interesting and diverse client base, including media (such as production companies of high-profile shows), financial services, technology, sustainable energy, and more.

Responsibilities

• Manage a diverse portfolio of clients, including small and medium-sized privately owned limited companies, LLPs, partnerships, and sole traders.
• Serve as the on-site senior, overseeing the planning, execution (compliance and substantive testing, analytical review, etc.), and completion of audit work to a high standard.
• Effectively supervise semi-senior and junior staff, providing training during audits, and delegating, monitoring, and reviewing their work.
• Take full responsibility for each audit assignment, ensuring completion within the agreed timescale with support and guidance from the relevant manager/partner.
• Prepare and implement high-quality work programmes.
• Address technical issues or seek guidance when necessary.
• Produce draft accounts from various client records and create a well-presented, paperless audit file for review.

Requirements

• Newly qualified ACA ICAEW, ICAS, or ACCA.
• Must have the right to work.
• Must be able to lead audits from planning through to completion.
• Practice experience with FRS 102.
• Knowledge of IFRS would be useful.
