Ready for your next step in practice? \n Are you an experienced Audit Senior, Assistant Audit Manager or Audit Manager who enjoys more than simply working on audit files? \n Perhaps you're currently working within a larger or mid-tier practice where your role has become increasingly specialised and you'd like to get back to a broader general practice environment, with greater exposure to clients and the opportunity to become involved across different areas of their work. \n This could be an excellent opportunity to join an established, independent accountancy practice in Liverpool, with a varied portfolio of SME, owner-managed and not-for-profit clients. \n This is a broader role than pure audit \n This is not a role where you'll simply be expected to manage audits from planning through to completion. \n Working within an independent practice means you'll have the opportunity to build much closer relationships with clients and become involved in a broader range of work. \n Alongside audit, this can include accounts and accounting-related queries, due diligence, problem solving and supporting clients with their wider financial needs. \n Its therefore an ideal opportunity for someone who enjoys being a well-rounded practice accountant, rather than being restricted to one area of the business. \n You may currently be an Audit Senior or Assistant Manager within a larger firm and feel ready to take that next step. You may already have the technical audit skills but want more responsibility, client exposure and involvement in the wider practice. \n THE OPPORTUNITY \n You'll take ownership of a portfolio of audit assignments, managing them from planning through to completion, while becoming a key point of contact for clients. \n You'll also manage and support a small team of 3-4 people and have the opportunity to become involved in pitches, tenders, business development and identifying opportunities within existing client relationships. \n Importantly, there is a clear longer-term opportunity to progress towards RI status, with the successful individual expected to understudy the existing management team and ultimately play a leading role in the firms audit offering. \n WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING \n\n • Managing a portfolio of audit assignments from planning through to completion\n, • Acting as a key contact for a varied portfolio of SME, owner-managed and not-for-profit clients\n, • Building strong, long-term client relationships\n, • Managing and supporting a team of 3-4 staff\n, • Reviewing audit work and maintaining high standards of audit quality\n, • Managing multiple assignments and deadlines\n, • Supporting clients with accounting queries and wider financial matters\n, • Becoming involved in ad hoc projects, including due diligence and problem solving\n, • Getting involved in pitches, tenders and identifying opportunities within existing client relationships\n, • Supporting the firms audit quality control processes\n, • Developing towards R.I. status and taking an increasingly senior role in the firms audit offering\n\n WHO WOULD SUIT THIS ROLE? \n We're looking for an ACA or ACCA qualified accountant with a strong practice background and solid audit experience. \n YOU COULD BE..... \n\n • An Audit Senior ready to step up into management\n, • An Assistant Audit Manager looking for greater responsibility and client exposure\n, • An existing Audit Manager looking to move into a more hands-on independent practice\n\n What's particularly important is that you are comfortable working across a broader practice environment. This is unlikely to suit someone whose experience has been exclusively audit-focused and who wants to remain within a specialist audit-only role. \n YOU'LL NEED \n\n • ACA or ACCA qualification\n, • Strong UK practice experience\n, • Solid audit experience\n, • Good knowledge of UK auditing and accounting standards\n, • Experience managing audit assignments and competing deadlines\n, • Strong attention to detail and commitment to audit quality\n, • The confidence to deal directly with clients\n, • A commercially minded and proactive approach\n, • The ability to manage and develop junior team members\n, • A willingness to get involved across the wider practice where required\n\n Experience of SRA Accounts Rules Reviews would be advantageous but is not essential. \n WHY CONSIDER IT? \n If you're currently working within a larger practice, this could be the chance to step up while broadening your experience at the same time. \n You'll have greater ownership of your clients, closer relationships with business owners, more involvement in the wider practice and the opportunity to develop commercially - rather than being restricted to one specialist area. \n For someone who wants to become a well-rounded practice professional and progress towards R.I. status, this could be a very strong next career move. \n Salary: circa £60,000 (negotiable upon offer) \n Location: Liverpool \n If you're an experienced Audit Senior, Assistant Audit Manager or Audit Manager looking for a broader role within an independent practice, we'd love to hear from you. \n PLEASE APPLY TODAY \n #IND-HL-25 \n \n Butler Rose is committed to equality in the workplace and is an equal opportunity employer. \n Butler Rose Ltd is acting as an Employment Business in relation to this vacancy. \n

Behavox is a cloud-native AI company providing an integrated controls platform for global banks, asset managers, hedge funds, private equity firms, insurance businesses, and commodity firms. The platform unifies communications and trade surveillance, compliant archiving, policy management as well as front-office analytics on a single, AI-native technology stack, delivered as a globally scalable SaaS-based cloud service. At Behavox, our engineering culture is built around speed, experimentation, and technical excellence, following agile principles and rapid iteration. We constantly test and adopt the latest cloud technologies and AI tooling, optimising for fast feedback loops and execution. We look for people who can move fast, challenge conventional wisdom, and who want to work at the frontier of modern AI, SaaS platforms, and distributed systems. Behavox is a high-performance organisation with a strong bias toward delivery, ownership, and responsibility. We commit, and we execute. We are building systems that are complex, mission-critical, and global in scale; systems that many consider too large or too difficult. To do that, we seek the smartest, most technically capable engineers and technologists who take end-to-end responsibility and want to win by building what others cannot. Founded in 2014 and backed by SoftBank Vision Fund, Behavox is headquartered in London, with offices worldwide, including New York City, Montreal, Seattle, Singapore, and Tokyo. The Senior FP&A Analyst owns Behavox's core financial model — its architecture, the accounting beneath it, and the forecasts and analysis the company plans and decides by. The role exists to change decisions, not report them: it turns the numbers into the choices leadership actually faces. It reads and integrates budgets into the model, but does not run the budgeting cycle. The same analyst builds the valuations, scenarios, and pro-forma models behind every acquisition — evaluating targets, running diligence, and folding closed deals into a single consolidated view. This work is periodic and must be carried alone when it arrives; the steady state is the operating model and SaaS forecasting. This is a high-autonomy role that works without a detailed brief and sets the modeling standard others build on. It is accountable for the accuracy and integrity of the numbers, and for turning them into recommendations sharp enough to act on — the downside case included, not just the point estimate — for senior leadership, the board, and investors. It pressure-tests the assumptions behind every result, works fluently with modern tooling and AI, and compounds that edge by learning relentlessly. Its influence comes from the rigor and reach of the analysis, not from authority: it owns the model and the truth it tells, not the decisions made from it. • Financial Model & Accounting Foundations — Knows how an integrated three-statement and operating model fits together, and the accounting that holds it up — SaaS revenue recognition and cost treatment included. Understands exactly how the company's budgets are built, and folds them into the model., • Forecasting & SaaS Unit Economics — Knows both bottom-up short-term forecasting and driver-based long-term modeling, and the SaaS metrics that actually reveal performance. Knows what moves each one and which lever changes it — not just how to report it., • Mergers, Acquisitions & Integration — Knows how to value an acquisition and how to fold it into one consolidated model: purchase accounting, combined-entity projections, and the mechanics that make or break the integration., • Business & Commercial Acumen — Knows in depth how the business and every function make money — the revenue drivers, the cost structure, the operating levers — and spots a number that doesn't add up on sight., • Financial Systems & AI Tooling — Commands Google Sheets and Excel, and tracks the AI and automation landscape closely enough to know where it is trustworthy and where it isn't., • Financial Model Ownership — Builds and maintains the core three-statement and operating model with s #J-18808-Ljbffr
