Your new company
We are working with an established and growing accountancy practice in the North West of England who are looking to appoint an experienced Audit Manager to support the continued development of their audit offering.
This role would suit a technically strong, confident and commercially minded audit professional who enjoys building client relationships and contributing to the wider success of a firm. With short-term progression to Responsible Individual (RI) status, this is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to take the next step and ultimately lead an established audit function.

Reporting directly to the senior management team, you will manage a varied audit portfolio and play a key role in shaping the future of the firm's audit offering. Key responsibilities will include:
- Managing and delivering audit engagements from planning through to completion
- Acting as the main point of contact for a portfolio of clients, including not-for-profit organisations, SMEs, owner-managed businesses and professional practices
- Line managing and developing a team of 3-4 audit staff
- Playing an active role in business development, including pitch support, tenders and identifying opportunities within existing client relationships
- Undertaking ad hoc non-audit projects, including due diligence assignments and complex accounting matters
- Supporting the firm's Audit Quality Control processes and ongoing compliance
