Audit Senior - Not for Profit (Charities & Education)
Offices in Chelmsford, Basildon & Leigh-on-Sea | Full-time
Are you ACA or ACCA qualified, or close to qualifying and looking to specialise in a sector where no two clients are the same?
From charities making a real difference in local communities to education providers shaping future generations, the Not for Profit world offers something genuinely different. Less routine, more variety and work that goes beyond the numbers.
At Rickard Luckin, we take a professional, passionate and personal approach. Not just with our clients, but with our people too.
We are proudly independent, owned and led by people who are part of the same communities as our clients and colleagues. That independence gives us the freedom to invest in our people, build meaningful client relationships and create careers that develop in the right direction for you.
With continued growth in our Not for Profit client base, now is a brilliant time to join a team working with organisations that are often quirky, purpose driven and always interesting.
About The Role
This role is ideal for someone with a solid grounding in audit who is ready to take ownership of assignments and develop real expertise in the Not for Profit sector.
