Audit Senior

Audit Senior – Manchester

Manchester | Hybrid Working | ACA / ACCA Qualified or Part-Qualified

Are you an Audit Senior looking for a role where you can take real ownership of audits, work directly with clients and continue progressing within a growing accountancy practice?

I’m working exclusively with a forward-thinking accountancy firm in Manchester that is looking to strengthen its audit team with an experienced Audit Senior.

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys being client-facing and wants more than simply completing sections of an audit file. You’ll be involved throughout the audit process, lead work on-site and have the opportunity to support and develop more junior members of the team.

The role

As Audit Senior, you’ll work closely with Audit Managers and Directors across a varied portfolio of clients.

Your responsibilities will include:

* Planning and executing external audits from start to completion

* Leading audit assignments and coordinating the onsite audit team

* Working across a varied portfolio, including owner-managed businesses

* Building strong relationships and becoming a key point of contact for clients

* Identifying issues and communicating findings effectively to managers and clients

* Coaching and supporting trainees and Semi Seniors

* Ensuring audits are completed efficiently and to a high standard

* Getting involved in the wider development of the audit team

What are we looking for?

You’ll ideally be:

* ACA / ACCA qualified or part-qualified

* Experienced within external audit in an accountancy practice

* Comfortable leading or taking ownership of audit assignments

* Experienced across a range of audit clients, including OMBs

* Confident dealing directly with clients

* Someone who enjoys supporting and developing junior team members

* Comfortable working with modern accounting and audit technology

* Ambitious and looking for a firm where you can continue developing your career

Knowledge of CCH would be beneficial but isn't essential.

What's on offer?

Alongside a competitive salary, the firm offers:

* Flexible hybrid working

* Generous annual leave plus an additional day off for your birthday

* Tailored learning and development

* Clear opportunities for career progression

* Company pension

* Salary sacrifice car scheme

* Holiday purchase scheme

* Dedicated volunteering day

* Health and wellbeing support

* Regular social and community events

This could be a brilliant move for an Audit Senior who wants to join a progressive Manchester practice, gain broader exposure and have a genuine opportunity to develop.
