Description

You just can't put your finger on it, can you?
You probably aren't massively unhappy where you are, but
you're itching for a change, something new

it might be
bigger clients, maybe some large complex groups, more flexible working, better defined career progression, a lively social bunch all motivating each other, better money (we know this matters too), or just to feel looked after and valued.

Picture this, you would be joining an ambitious
top 60, 17 partner practice at a time when the audit team is growing, although there are 165 employees you get to become part of the 35 strong partner led audit team stepping into an
Audit Senior role with defined career progression to Supervisor and beyond


Because you have been working in audit for a couple of years, we don't need to list your day-to-day duties when it comes to undertaking an audit.


80% of your job role is going to be audit focused, with the remainder of your time leaning towards preparing accounts to comply with UK GAAP and taxation.


You will be getting stuck into a
variety of audits covering numerous sectors with turnovers ranging from £5-50million. If you have any large group experience it would be well utilised within the team as they currently look after severalcomplex groups, and are winning some big work, thanks to recommendations and our membership of an international association.


For
non-audit assignments, you will be preparing statutory and non-statutory accounts for corporate clients, LLPs and sole traders, this will also include abbreviated company accounts, full company accounts and group accounts.

As an Audit Senior you are given
a good level of responsibility from the start.

Monitoring audits, working closely with clients, communicating findings and using your experience to support the development of the junior team members who arestudying towards their accounting qualifications.


The Nitty Gritty


Feel free to check out our social media channels (Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Glassdoor) and visit the FAQ section on our careers page to see how we are continuing to support everyone, including adopting a successful hybrid working model (2days at home, 3 days in the office).


As with any job we think there are a few things that would help you succeed from the start, these include:


  • ACA or ACCA qualified, with at least 1 year's PQE gained within an audit focused role, experience of working with group audits would go down really well with the team, but this isn't essential.
-
Accounts & Tax experience:

- around 20% of your time will be spent preparing financial accounts and corporate tax computations for review. You will need to be technically up to date in these areas.

-
IT skills:

- in a world of automation you are no doubt comfortable working with a whole variety of systems including all the mastery that Excel is capable of. You would be working with ProAudit, Xero, CCH and SAGE and Viztopia here too.

-
Strong Technical skills:

- up to date knowledge of UK financial reporting standards.

-
Communication skills:

-
Commercial acumen:

- what does this really mean? In this case, the ability to really add value to a client and spot cross selling opportunities.
