At Menzies, our culture is our cornerstone. We blend technical excellence with genuine care for our people and clients. With over 1000 colleagues in the UK, we’ve built a culture based on shared values and mutual respect. Here’s why you’ll love working with us:

What’s the Role About?
We are seeking an experienced Audit Manager to manage a diverse portfolio of clients, overseeing the preparation of financial statements under FRS102 and IFRS.

You will be responsible for financial management, including WIP, billing, and debt control, while also developing and mentoring upcoming audit talent.
