Job Description:

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.
