Are you an ACA or ACCA qualified audit professional or close to qualifying looking to take ownership of audits and work with a diverse range of clients across multiple sectors?

At Rickard Luckin, we pride ourselves in taking a professional, passionate and personal approach. Not just with our clients, but with our people too.

Our firm remains proudly independent; owned and led by people who live and work in the same communities as our colleagues. This independence is not just a business model; it's a philosophy that shapes how we support, develop, and grow with our people.

With ongoing demand for high quality audit work, now is an exciting time to join a team trusted by a diverse client base, from entrepreneurial owner-managed businesses to group subsidiaries. Our clients value our technical strength, personal approach and ability to deliver insights that go beyond compliance.

This role is ideal for someone with a solid grounding in audit who is ready to step up, lead assignments from planning to completion and play a key role in developing junior team members. You'll work closely with experienced managers and directors.

At Rickard Luckin, people have moved around the business as their interests developed. Some auditors have progressed into Corporate Tax while continuing CTA studies, and others into Corporate Finance. Equally, if you want to stay and progress in audit, that’s just as important, we support growth wherever your career takes you.
