Internal Auditor
Liverpool (Hybrid) £55,500 - £70,000
We are partnering with a growing organisation seeking a qualified Internal Auditor or controls specialist to take ownership of its financial control and governance environment. This is a high-impact role where you will shape, strengthen and continuously improve controls across a complex, evolving organisation.
If you're a qualified accountant with a background in audit, risk or internal controls and want to move into a role with broader ownership and influence, this offers a clear step forward.
The Role
Reporting into senior finance leadership, you will act as the organisation's central authority on financial controls, risk, and governance. You'll apply an audit mindset to ensure that systems, processes and controls are robust, well-documented and consistently operating effectively.
This is a hands-on role, combining control design, assurance, and continuous improvement.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead the design, review and enhancement of financial control frameworks, policies and procedures
- Assess and strengthen the effectiveness of controls across financial reporting and transactional processes
- Oversee risk identification, assessment and mitigation, maintaining the finance risk register
- Ensure compliance with statutory, regulatory, and tax requirements, with a strong focus on control integrity and fraud prevention
- Act as the primary contact for internal and external audit, coordinating reviews and driving timely resolution of findings
- Embed controls within finance systems and workflows, supporting implementations and system improvements
- Review and enhance end-to-end processes, identifying control gaps, inefficiencies and risks
- Oversee treasury, payments and banking controls, including access governance and approvals
- Provide expert challenge and insight to senior stakeholders on risk, control and governance matters
- Support organisational change and transformation, ensuring controls are designed in from the outset
