You'll also be expected to bring in specialists from other parts of the business, such as tax, corporate finance or financial services, when a client needs them, and to help win new work through networking, referrals and the odd tender. \n What You'll Need \n\n • ACA or ACCA qualified, with several years' post-qualification experience in external audit, accounts and general practice\n, • Comfortable working with owner-managed businesses across a mix of industries\n, • Strong working knowledge of corporate tax and company secretarial matters\n, • A track record of managing and developing junior staff\n, • Commercially switched on, with an eye for opportunities within your own portfolio\n, • Good working knowledge of Excel and Word; Sage, CaseWare or tax software experience is useful but not essential\n\n What's On Offer \n Alongside a competitive salary and Manager's bonus scheme, you'll get a strong holiday allowance (with the option to buy more), a car lease scheme, and paid time for CSR work. The firm holds Investors in People accreditation and puts real weight behind work-life balance, with a management structure geared towards helping people progress rather than just retain them. \n If you're an experienced auditor looking for a role with genuine ownership at a firm that's on a clear growth path, get in touch.
