Job description

Location

Blackburn and Bury

The role in brief

An opportunity has arisen to join the audit, accounting and advisory team as a senior adviser, in a part or post exam qualified role. This opportunity is on the back of continued growth in our client base and can be based in Blackburn or Bury.

Who We Are Looking For

This is an ideal opportunity for someone who already has significant audit experience working within an audit or a mixed audit and accounting role, and who is seeking to progress and personally develop in their audit career.

What The Role Involves

You will be a part of our audit team, providing an excellent service to a large range of corporate clients and business owners, of which circa 75% of the role will be working on statutory audits. The remaining time will be spent on year‑end accounts preparation and ad‑hoc advisory projects for clients.

Your work will be based at clients' premises, predominantly around Lancashire and Greater Manchester, and in our offices. We adopt a flexible working policy and so some time may also be spent at home. You will start by building on your existing experience, reporting to managers, directors and partners and by effectively managing teams to deliver high‑quality, efficient audits. Developing strong client relationships as quickly as possible will be paramount. You will start to have client contact from day one as well as working closely with corporate tax colleagues.

You will also have responsibility for training and developing less experienced members of the audit team as well as identifying ways in which we can improve quality and efficiency. As your experience grows, you will be able to take responsibility for smaller audits and reporting direct to Responsible Individuals. Beyond that, we expect progression to be to Assistant Manager, Manager and beyond if this is how you wish your career to unfold.

Your attributes

• Keen to play an active role in a dynamic team and willing to contribute to the success of the team and the firm as a whole
• Passionate about providing great client service with a genuine interest in our clients.
• Great at communicating with people at all levels.
• Positive and resilient.
• Good at using your initiative and working under pressure.
• Motivated and well organised.

Your development

We provide a complementary range of training opportunities to ensure that you maximise your potential in areas such as becoming a trusted adviser, networking, presentation skills and more, with opportunities for progression across the firm.
