• Proven track record of managing end-to-end audit assignments independently and handling client queries directly.

Must-have attributes

• Ownership: Takes full accountability for audit files from planning through sign-off; proactively resolves roadblocks to hit tight delivery deadlines without needing constant oversight.


• Humility: Open-minded to feedback, eager to learn evolving tech tools, and willing to collaborate with diverse, cross-functional teams with emotional intelligence.

Behavioural fit is also important at Sleek, and we will be looking for candidates that have a proven track record of embodying the below attributes in their recent roles:

• Ownership: This shows reliability and helps build trust within the team. We move fast and need to know that everyone will see things through to completion and proactively help to get things back on track when challenges arise. Accountability is really important to us.


• Humility: There is so much we don’t know. Humility allows for open-mindedness to feedback and a willingness to learn from others. It paves the way for collaboration and creates a positive work environment. It is a key ingredient of self awareness and emotional intelligence.


• Structured Thinking: Our business is complex with many layers (many services, many countries, many cultures). Regardless of whether you’re more analytical or creative in nature, being able to show sound judgement is important to us. It ensures solutions are pragmatic and balance the needs of the organisation, team and customers.


• Attention to detail: You'll be managing multiple, complex workstreams from numerous stakeholders. It will be important for you to keep track of everything and notice when information is missing or inconsistent.


• Excellent listener and clear communicator: We have a variety of nationalities and for many people, English isn’t their first language. For you to excel, you'll need to be present in your calls and make sure you properly receive and thoughtfully send messages to others in the business.

One-way Video Interview: Shortlisted candidates will be invited to complete a one-way video interview to evaluate communication skills and key background details early in the process.

Technical Round: A 30-minute technical evaluation with the Audit Hiring Team and a 30-minute interview with the Audit Partner, focusing on your knowledge of SME-FRS standards, audit procedures, tax computations, and case scenarios.

Soft Skills Round: A 45-to-60-minute interview with a member of leadership to explore your work style, structured thinking, and alignment with Sleek's core behavioral values.

Reference Verification: Prior to final offer confirmation, we will conduct professional reference checks with your recent direct manager or supervisor.
