Role Description
Looking for a way out of audit work but still want to use your technical skill set? Or perhaps you're already an accounts professional looking for a change.
This is a role driven by an increase in accounts and non-audit work. It’s an excellent opportunity for a technically strong individual who enjoys working with larger, more complex clients and getting involved in ad hoc and specialist projects.
The position is a purely non-audit role, focused on accounts, tax and advisory work. You’ll manage your own client portfolio while also supporting the audit team by overseeing the non-audit elements of their client work.
What’s in it for you?
