Audit Senior

Position: Audit Senior (Permanent)
Audit Senior

Bolton | Hybrid (3 days in office) | £40,000-£50,000

If you’re newly qualified (or close to it) and starting to think about what’s next - this could be worth a conversation.

I’m working with a well-established, top-tier accountancy firm in Bolton with a genuinely strong reputation across the UK. They’re not corporate, not political, and not trying to be Manchester.

They’ve built a stable, close-knit audit team - and that shows. People don’t tend to leave.

They’re now looking for an Audit Senior (or strong finalist) who wants to step into a role where:

* You’ll lead audits and deal directly with clients

* You won’t be siloed into one sector

* You’re trusted to get on with the job

* You’re not commuting into Manchester every day

The client base is varied - manufacturing, construction, not-for-profit, professional services - largely SME and owner-managed. It’s hands-on, relationship-led audit. Not box-ticking.

What they’re looking for:

* ACA or ACCA qualified (or within 6 months)

* Solid UK practice audit experience

* Comfortable leading fieldwork

* Confident speaking to clients face-to-face

* Someone who wants to be part of a team - not fully remote

They operate hybrid working (2 days in the office), but culture matters here. They’re collaborative, approachable, and properly team-oriented.

Why consider it?

* Salary £40k-£50k depending on level

* Clear path toward Assistant Manager

* No city-centre commute or parking costs

* Broad client exposure

* Supportive leadership team

* Study support if required

* Good holiday allowance + option to buy more

* Overtime paid

If you’re currently in a larger firm and feeling like a small cog, or at a mid-tier where progression feels slow - this could be a really sensible move.

Equally, if you’re at a local practice and ready for more responsibility, I’d like to speak
