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 over 140+ countries and across more than 800+ 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 consulting 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.

Our specialist NFP (not-for-profit team) is multi-disciplinary and includes audit, accounting, tax, risk management, evaluation, governance, and consultancy specialists as well as grants specialists. We’ve identified a need to strengthen this award-winning team with the appointment of a Senior Associate in Audit.

As part of the team that has been named the UK’s leading charity auditor for the last 16 years running, your role will involve working with a wide variety of clients within the not-for-profit sector including charities, schools, academies, grant makers, membership organisations, professional bodies, etc.

This is, therefore, a great opportunity for anyone that is looking to specialise and grow within the sector – particularly if you have a passion for making a positive difference to organisations that do fantastic work in the UK. You will be working alongside experienced Partners, Directors, and Managers with a wealth of knowledge and experience in the not-for-profit space, whilst managing a team of auditors within a supportive and approachable environment. Your role will be challenging and varied, and you will be encouraged to take on extra responsibilities and offered excellent opportunities to quickly progress further within the firm.

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

• A tangible passion for audit and/or the charities, non-profit, and social purpose sector 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.

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.
