Make an impact in the charity sector and audit with purpose.

If you're anything like Lara and Emma, two of our Charity Audit Managers, you find working with charity clients deeply fulfilling. As Lara says, "The clients in general are more keen to learn, listen, and take on what we have to say."

Emma shares, "I like the 'doing good' element, and I feel like I have a bigger impact on the client as they tend to need a little extra help—it's very fulfilling."

You're an experienced auditor who has really enjoyed working on charity and NFP audits. You know your way around a set of charity accounts, you enjoy mentoring others, and you're passionate about doing meaningful work that makes a difference... and now feels like a good time to consider your next step.

Perhaps you're looking for a firm that not only values your technical skills but also your leadership potential, and can offer the opportunity to work with experts in the charity sector. We might just be that firm.

The Role

Picture this: you'd be stepping into a brand-new Audit Supervisor role, working closely with Lara, Emma, and Molly to support the growth of the Charity and NFP service line here at Goodman Jones LLP. You'll take ownership of audits from planning to finalisation, acting as the main point of contact for our charity clients and mentoring junior team members.

This is a technical and client-facing role with real variety and impact. You'll get stuck into:

• Leading charity audits – Managing engagements from planning to completion for a range of UK-registered charities
• Independent Examinations – Reviewing and conducting examinations in line with the Charities Act
• Technical excellence – Ensuring compliance with UK GAAP, Charities SORP (FRS 102), and other relevant standards
• Client relationships – Acting as a trusted adviser to finance teams and trustees, providing clear communication and timely resolution of issues
• Mentoring – Supporting audit assistants, reviewing work, and promoting best practices
• Accounts & tax – Reviewing statutory accounts and overseeing corporation tax computations where required

Who are Goodman Jones LLP?

We're a 13-partner firm based in Fitzrovia, London—and we're proud of our reputation for supporting our people and making work feel human.

We believe in delivering great work without burnout. That means:

• 35-hour workweek – Because life outside work matters
• Hybrid working – 3 days in the office, 2 from home
• Real progression – A clear path to Manager and beyond
• Strong support network – Regular check-ins, hands-on leadership, and professional development tailored to you
• Meaningful clients – Work with grassroots charities, social enterprises, and large not-for-profits with international reach

Who This Role is For

You're already ACA or ACCA qualified, with solid experience leading audits in a UK practice. You understand the unique challenges of the charity sector—and you're ready for your next chapter.

• ACA or ACCA qualified
• 3+ years' experience in audit (including charity and NFP clients)
• Strong knowledge of the Charities SORP, UK GAAP, and audit regulations
• Comfortable with audit tools like CaseWare, Data Snipper, and Excel
• A natural communicator who builds trust with clients and team members
• Organised, detail-focused, and proactive

Nice to Have:

• Experience with charities with international interests or trading subsidiaries
• Exposure to Independent Examinations and grant reporting
• Familiarity with cloud platforms like Xero and QuickBooks
