Your responsibilities will include:

• Leading audit assignments from planning through to completion
• Preparing financial statements and managing budgets and deadlines
• Supporting and reviewing the work of junior team members
• Building and maintaining client relationships
• Identifying areas where clients might benefit from additional support or services
• Contributing to internal planning, process improvements, and development

What’s in it for you?

• £55,000+ salary, depending on experience
• Hybrid working and flexible hours
• Sociable team culture - regular events, team lunches, and socials (approx. one per month)
• Clear path to progression, with structured development support
• Buy/sell up to 5 days of holiday
• Private medical, dental, and life insurance
• Enhanced parental and family leave
• Modern, tech-forward office environment
• Access to PerkBox and other wellbeing perks

This is a brilliant chance to join a firm where you can feel part of the team, enjoy a mix of clients and work, and progress your career without sacrificing balance.
