We’re looking for a newly qualified Audit Senior to join our team in Cleckheaton.
If you’re naturally curious about how businesses operate, and can bring the passion and expertise needed to audit them effectively, this could be the ideal opportunity for you.
This is a varied and rewarding role, suited to someone who thrives on building strong client relationships, collaborating within a team, and continually developing their skills, while maintaining a high standard of audit quality. You’ll take the lead on audit assignments on-site, act as a key point of contact for client finance teams, and deliver high-quality outputs to senior colleagues.
There will be lots to get involved with in this role, but examples of what you’ll be working on are:

- You’ll support the Audit Manager in engagement economics, including preparation of budgets and tracking against actuals.
- Manage your own time and that of others to meet deadlines and deliver an effective service to clients.
- Opportunity to be involved in strategic projects at office and firm wide level.
- Contribute to business development activities.
- While your base office will be Cleckheaton, you'll also need the flexibility to work with our Leeds team on their clients, as needed.

- ACA/ACCA qualification or equivalent.
- Strong audit experience in Practice.
- Good experience with UK auditing standards.
- The ability to travel to clients as and when needed
- Confident communicator, able to liaise with clients and colleagues at all levels.
- Leadership & people skills to help develop junior members of the team.
- Strong project management skills.
- Pro-active, with the ability to work on your own initiative to improve internal processes and technical knowledge.
- Excellent IT skills, including experience with accounting software and Microsoft Office packages.
