Senior Associate, Corporate Audit - Thames Valley

About Crowe

Crowe is a leading national audit, tax, advisory and consulting firm with global reach and local expertise. We are an independent member of Crowe Global, one of the top 10 accounting networks in the world, with access to more than 40,000 people in 150 countries and across 798 offices globally.

Our vision is to be recognised as essential to the future success of our clients by helping them to answer tomorrow’s questions, and make smart decisions that have lasting value through the highest quality audit, tax, advisory and risk services.

Crowe is where talented people can realise their potential, are successful and enjoy what they do by making a positive difference to our clients, communities and each other.

At Crowe, our aim is to create a community where regardless of gender, identity, sexuality, race, ethnicity, education or background, everyone is valued, can flourish and achieve their full potential.

About the role

We seek a talented and ambitious Senior Associate to strengthen the ever-growing Corporate 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.

While 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?

At Crowe we understand that it is often the culture and values of a firm that are most important when looking for a new workplace.

Whether you’re working in statutory audit, corporate tax or you’re a marketing or HR specialist, we place our people at the centre of everything that we do; promoting a collaborative, inclusive and friendly culture while remaining passionate about supporting and developing our people as they build their careers. We listen to our people and adapt to their changing needs alongside the needs of our growing business. We invest in our people to help them be the best they can be.

We value new ideas and innovation, and welcome people who are committed to making a difference by delivering excellent services to our people, clients and communities.

At Crowe, you will find the specialist knowledge, the resources and the commitment to help you build a satisfying and rewarding career, with continued learning and development, highly competitive salaries and flexible benefits.

We want to create the best environment for our people to grow and thrive and recognise the importance of offering a flexible approach to our working environment, which we would be happy to discuss with you further.

Crowe is committed to equal opportunity and diversity in recruitment and employment. We value the differences that a diverse workforce brings to our organisation, driving effectiveness in our teams and providing our clients with a quality service.

Entry and progression within the firm is determined solely by the application of objective criteria, personal performance and merit which is supported by a clearly defined career pathway.

Closing Date: 14 February 2025
