Audit Manager – Charities & Non-profit

Life at PEM: giving back to our community

Across the firm, our people choose to support local causes through the PEM Charitable Trust. This is a firm-wide initiative, not a duty of this role. Our colleagues nominate and award grants of up to £2,000 to local charities – donating over £95,000 to date and celebrating our 150th grant in 2025.

From charity challenges to volunteer days, there are plenty of opportunities to get involved if you wish – championing causes close to your heart and seeing the real-world impact of our collective work.

As Audit Manager within our Charities & Not-for-Profit team, you’ll manage a portfolio of organisations with turnovers typically ranging from £1 million to £20 million. You’ll act as a trusted adviser to clients while leading high-quality audit engagements, developing team members and contributing to the continued growth of our specialist practice.

In this role, you’ll:

• Manage a portfolio of charity and not-for-profit clients
• Build strong relationships with finance leaders, executives and trustees
• Lead audits from planning through to completion and Partner review
• Review financial statements and ensure the highest quality standards are met
• Provide practical, value-added advice to clients navigating sector-specific challenges
• Coach, mentor and develop members of the audit team
• Support business development activities, tenders and client growth opportunities
• Contribute to the ongoing success and expansion of PEM’s charity and not-for-profit practice
