Accountancy Practice - Accounts and Audit Senior

As a specialist recruiter working closely with high-quality independent accountancy practices, I am currently representing a thriving, well-established firm seeking to appoint an Accounts & Audit Senior as part of their continued growth.

• Preparation and review of statutory accounts for a varied owner-managed business client base
• Approximately 20–30% audit work, at a comparable technical level
• Involvement in audit planning, fieldwork, and completion
• Direct client contact, including explaining accounts, audit findings, and value‑added advice
• Opportunity to support partners with client development and fee growth

• Minimum 3 years’ experience in accounts production and review within practice
• Solid audit exposure (around 20% of current or recent workload)
• Strong technical grounding combined with clear, confident communication skills
• Commercially aware, with the ability to spot opportunities and build trusted client relationships
• Ambitious, personable, and keen to progress within an independent firm environment

• Supportive, partner‑led culture with real visibility and influence
• Broad, interesting client work rather than siloed roles
• Tremendous long‑term opportunity for progression into management and beyond
• A firm that values both technical excellence and relationship‑driven professionals

This role will suit someone who wants more than just compliance work and is looking to build a long‑term career within a progressive, growing practice.
