Role: Audit Manager

As Audit Manager, you will take on a highly visible leadership role, working closely with senior stakeholders to deliver high-quality audits while helping to shape audit strategy and processes.

Client Details

Our client is a well-established and growing accountancy practice currently entering an exciting phase of strategic expansion. With a strong and expanding audit client base, the firm is investing in its leadership team to build a scalable, high-performing audit function. This is an excellent opportunity to join a business where you can have direct influence on the future direction of the audit department while working closely with senior leadership.

Description

Key responsibilities of the Audit Manager:

  • Leading the planning, execution, and completion of complex audit assignments, including group audits and owner-managed businesses (OMBs)
  • Taking full ownership of audit engagements from initial planning through to completion
  • Acting as the primary on-site client contact, managing queries and building strong relationships
  • Producing high-quality, review-ready audit files to minimise Partner and Director involvement
  • Managing team resources and capacity to ensure efficient delivery of audit assignments
  • Supporting, mentoring, and developing junior team members
  • Acting as a technical point of contact, ensuring compliance with UK GAAP
  • Working across a flexible portfolio tailored to your expertise (audit-focused or mixed including statutory accounts and tax)

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
