Job Description

This is a great opportunity for an experienced Audit and Accounts Senior to join a firm that genuinely does things differently. Small enough that you will actually matter, big enough to offer the technical depth and client quality you would expect from a much larger practice. The variety of work here is the real draw. You will be working closely with partners, getting involved in strategic conversations with owner-managed businesses at the moments that actually count for them. If you are feeling like a number in your current firm and want a role where you can take real ownership and progress on merit, this is worth a serious look.

Audit & Accounts Senior – About The Role

The variety here is something you will not find easily elsewhere. You will work across audit and accounts for a broad portfolio of owner-managed businesses, covering multiple sectors and countries.

Preparation of accounts for statutory, management and ad hoc requirements 
	
Planning, budgeting and finalising audit files, managing the process through to completion 
	
Working as part of the team to hit deadlines and make sure clients get a great experience 
	
Delegating and reviewing the work of trainees and supporting their development 
	
Spotting opportunities to add value for clients and challenging existing approaches where it makes sense 
	
Supporting managers and partners across their portfolios and on ad hoc projects 
	
Building trusted relationships with clients and being part of the bigger picture conversations

The successful Audit & Accounts will have:

ACA or ACCA qualified 
	
Strong audit experience, though a genuine willingness to learn will be considered 
	
Experience taking audit and accounts assignments from planning through to completion 
	
Working knowledge of accounting software, Xero, QuickBooks or IRIS is helpful but not essential 
	
Good analytical skills and a practical, commercial approach to work 
	
Strong communication skills, written and in person 
	
Comfortable working on your own as well as part of a team 
	
Well organised with the ability to juggle competing deadlines 
	
Proactive and keen to take ownership
