NFP Audit Senior

Full-Time Social Purpose / Not-for-Profit Sector London

I'm working with a highly regarded, mid-tier accountancy firm with a strong reputation in the Social Purpose space. Their specialist charity and not-for-profit team continues to grow and they are looking to appoint an experienced Audit Senior Associate to join the department.

This is a fantastic opportunity to work with a varied and genuinely interesting client base across charities, membership bodies, medical research organisations and independent schools - all within a collaborative, single-office team environment.

As an Audit Senior Associate, you'll take ownership of audits from planning through to completion, working closely with managers and supervising junior team members.

You'll be responsible for delivering high-quality, risk-based audits while building strong relationships with clients across the sector.

Key responsibilities include:

• Acting as senior on audits, reporting directly to the Audit Manager

• Planning audits through to completion, including drafting financial statements

• Preparing management letters and letters of representation

• Supervising and delegating to junior staff (teams of up to five)

• Reviewing work and providing constructive feedback

• Liaising regularly with managers on audit progress

• Identifying improvements in client systems and controls

• Keeping up to date with audit and accounting standards

• Supporting the wider Social Purpose team with technical input

You'll be client-facing and will need to be comfortable travelling to client sites as required.

• ACA or ACCA part-qualified (or equivalent)

• Experience leading audits from planning to completion

• Strong technical understanding of audit and accounting standards

• Able to supervise and review junior team members

• Excellent communication skills and confident dealing with clients

• Strong attention to detail and ability to meet deadlines

• Proactive, adaptable and commercially aware

• Ideally an interest in or exposure to the charity / not-for-profit sector

Experience with data analytics tools and strong Excel skills would be advantageous.

The firm offers a genuinely supportive culture with clear progression routes. The Social Purpose team is well-established and highly regarded, combining experienced leadership with ambitious managers and strong administrative support.

Outside of client work, there are regular social and CSR initiatives, and the firm places real emphasis on collaboration, inclusion and long-term career development.

My client is committed to building an inclusive environment where everyone can thrive. Applications are welcomed from all backgrounds, and reasonable adjustments will always be made where required.
