Job description

Audit Senior / Assistant Manager Brighton £42,000 - £58,000 Hybrid

Most audit roles ask you to pick a side. Small firm and you get the variety but not the infrastructure. Large firm and you get the systems but end up on one section of one job for months.

This one sits in the middle, and that is genuinely the appeal.

The Brighton office is an established local practice with long-standing clients and a team that knows them properly. It now sits within a national group, which means better technology, real audit methodology behind you, and progression routes that do not depend on someone above you retiring.

The role is open at Senior or Assistant Manager level. Where you land depends on what you bring rather than a fixed job title.

What the work looks like

• Planning, running and completing audits from start to finish
• A mixed portfolio across owner-managed businesses, charities and not-for-profits
• Reviewing the work of semi-seniors and juniors, and coaching them properly rather than just correcting it
• Working directly with clients through the year, not only at fieldwork
• Involvement in accounts preparation alongside the audit work if that interests you

What they are looking for

• ACA or ACCA qualified, or very close to it
• Solid UK practice audit experience with genuine ownership of files
• Comfortable being the person on site the client comes to
• Someone who wants the step up to Assistant Manager, or is already there and wants a better platform

Why it is worth a look

• Brighton base with hybrid working and flexible hours
• Local team feel with the resources of a much larger firm behind it
• Clear route to Manager and beyond, with the group actively growing
• Client contact from day one rather than after two years of proving yourself
• Genuine investment in training and study support

If you are qualified in audit and quietly wondering whether the next few years look different somewhere else, this is worth a conversation. No pressure, no CV needed to start with.
