Job description

Are you looking for more than just another audit cycle? Want to step into a leadership role where you have the autonomy to shape audits, build client relationships, and mentor a growing team—without the rigid structures of a Big 4 or mid-tier firm?

This is an opportunity to join a progressive, independent firm that values your expertise, offers real career progression, and provides exposure to a diverse portfolio of local clients across multiple industries. You’ll work closely with ambitious SMEs, owner-managed businesses, and established firms, helping them navigate their financial landscape while advancing your career in a collaborative and supportive environment.

Why Make the Move?

  • Greater Autonomy & Influence – Lead engagements, shape strategy, and have a say in decision-making.
  • Career Progression – A clear and achievable route to Senior Manager and beyond.
  • Varied Client Portfolio – Work with a mix of industries, including manufacturing, retail, professional services, and tech—no two audits are the same.
  • Local Clients, Real Impact – Build lasting relationships and see the direct impact of your work on businesses in the region.

The Role

As an Audit Manager, you’ll take full ownership of audit assignments, managing a team to deliver high-quality work while fostering strong client relationships. You’ll be responsible for overseeing engagements, mentoring staff, and ensuring a seamless audit process from planning to completion.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead and manage audit engagements, ensuring timely completion and adherence to audit standards.
  • Act as a trusted advisor, maintaining and growing client relationships with a commercial mindset.
  • Supervise and mentor junior team members, providing hands-on guidance and feedback.
  • Oversee audit planning, risk assessment, and resource allocation to drive efficiency.
  • Work across multiple sectors, applying mix-industry expertise to deliver tailored audit solutions.
  • Ensure compliance with accounting and auditing standards (FRS, IFRS) while adopting a practical, business-focused approach.
  • Collaborate with Directors and Senior Managers to align audit strategies with business objectives.
  • Identify and implement process improvements to enhance audit quality and efficiency.

Who We’re Looking For:

  • Qualified Accountant (ACCA/ACA) with 2-4 years of post-qualification experience.
  • Strong external audit experience within a variety of industries and local businesses.
  • Excellent technical knowledge of FRS and IFRS, with a practical, business-focused approach.
  • A proactive leader who enjoys mentoring and developing junior staff.
  • Strong client-facing and communication skills, with the ability to build rapport and influence stakeholders.
  • A problem-solving mindset, looking for ways to improve processes and add value to clients.
  • Experience with CaseWare and CCH is a bonus, but not essential.

What’s in It for You?

  • Competitive salary & performance-based bonus.
  • Flexible working arrangements and hybrid options.
  • Genuine opportunities for fast-track career progression based on merit.
  • Life assurance, pension scheme, and wellbeing support services.
  • A collaborative and social team environment with regular networking and team events.

If you're looking for a role where you can make an impact, develop your career, and enjoy your work, we’d love to hear from you.
