The firm is seeking an experienced Audit Senior to take a leading role in audit engagements across a variety of sectors.

• Identify audit risks, propose solutions, and communicate technical issues clearly.
• Build strong relationships with clients, acting as a key point of contact throughout each audit cycle.
• Support colleagues with technical queries, research, and process improvement initiatives.

• Ideally ACA/ACCA qualified, though strong auditors without formal qualification will be considered.
• Solid experience in the full audit process within practice.
• Proven experience with group structures and consolidations.
• Strong understanding of UK GAAP (FRS 102) and current auditing standards.
• Excellent communication, organisational, and leadership skills.
• Ability to manage multiple assignments, work independently, and meet deadlines.
• Proactive, analytical, and detail-driven approach.

• Competitive salary package.
• Direct exposure to the Audit Partner and a real voice in shaping audit processes.
• Supportive, friendly culture with genuine work–life balance.
• Ongoing professional development and technical training.
• A varied and interesting client base, offering continuous learning.
