You'll bring solid technical expertise and a confident, people‑focused approach. Ideally, you will have:

ACCA/ACA qualification with experience leading audits from planning to completion.
Strong working knowledge of recent accounting standards (e.g., FRS 102; SORP).
Proficiency with software such as Excel, Sage, CaseWare, and similar tools.
Demonstrated supervisory skills and ability to manage multiple deadlines.
Excellent communication, problem‑solving skills, and a commercial mindset.
 What's on Offer

This firm recognises talent and offers a package that genuinely supports you in and outside of work, including:

Agile working with core hours and home‑working flexibility.
33 days' holiday including bank holidays, with the option to buy or sell up to 5 more.
Competitive salary and structured career progression.
Access to a comprehensive Employee Assistance Programme including counselling and virtual GP services.
