About Crowe

Crowe is a leading national firm offering audit, tax, advisory, and consulting services with global reach and local expertise. As an independent member of Crowe Global, one of the top 10 accounting networks worldwide, we have access to over 46,000 professionals across 150+ countries and more than 800 offices globally.

About the role

We seek a talented and ambitious Senior Associate to strengthen the ever-growing Audit function in our Thames Valley office. This role would suit any recently qualified Auditor looking to develop their experience and career in a supportive environment, as well as gain broad and holistic experience.

You will join a growing Audit team of c.90, working with Managers, Directors and Partners on a varied client portfolio (a range of corporate, listed and owner-managed businesses across multiple sectors) that has seen significant growth over the course of the last 4 years. In fact, headcount in our audit team has grown by more than 100% since y/e March 2020.

Whilst the technical expertise and experience to capably deliver audit work to high standards is important – it’s the drive, ambition, personality and values that we’re most interested in. Being part of our team’s growth strategy will require exceptional interpersonal skills and competencies – not just brilliant audit experience.

We think this opportunity will suit you if you can demonstrate:

• A tangible passion for audit that inspires those around you – colleagues and clients alike.
• The ability to act as a role model, setting an admirable example that our firm’s talented trainees can aspire to.
• Tangible drive for delivering exceptional client service that adds value, underpinned by brilliant relationships you’ve fostered with your clients
• Aptitude in engaging with ‘the bigger picture’. Thinking outside of the remit of merely an auditor. Promoting innovation, nurturing talent, improving culture and motivating others. Setting an example others will be inspired to follow.
• Excellent team working competencies. Ultimately, Crowe is valued by its clients not because our people deliver as individuals, but because they deliver brilliantly as a team. Working collaboratively with others, whilst supporting your colleagues in a myriad of ways is crucial.

We feel that this will be a great opportunity to advance your emergent audit career in a positive environment and growing firm.

About you

You will be able to evidence some good experience delivering external audits within another accountancy firm – having recently completed (or nearing completion of) your professional studies (ACA, ACCA or equivalent).

You’ll also be a credible role-model for our trainees and your peer group – providing an aspirational example that want to strive towards. You’ll have an infectious hunger for learning and continuing your development after the completion of your professional studies; coupled with an enviable commitment to delivering a service to your clients that reinforces Crowe’s values.

You’ll also demonstrate an ability to think laterally and innovatively – helping you produce fresh and insightful solutions that exceed client expectations.

Why choose Crowe?

Whatever career you choose, whether in audit, tax, marketing or HR, we can offer you a rewarding and clear career pathway, designed to help you develop your existing talents as well as discovering new ones, positioning you to make a meaningful difference to our ever-growing and varied client base.

At Crowe we foster a collaborative and inclusive culture, and we will encourage, support and guide you on an exciting professional journey of self-discovery.

We value innovation and welcome those committed to making a difference for our communities, colleagues, and clients.

• With access to expert knowledge, continuous learning, competitive salaries, and flexible benefits, you will have the tools to build a rewarding career.

We are committed to diversity in our teams, equal opportunity and merit-based progression. We promote a healthy working environment with an agile working approach alongside dedicated wellbeing support, helping our people to thrive both professionally and personally.
