Job Description
Are you an ACA / ACCA qualified Audit Manager from a good quality practice firm looking to upgrade to an international Top 20 firm based in a prime location in Central London?

You will also be responsible for assisting with new business development and winning new clients for the firm, as well as helping to run the department and overseeing its success. Your clients will be varied and include industries such as media, property, renewable energy, transport, mining, technology, professional services and retail.

You must have experience of managing audits from planning to completion as well as other general practice and advisory assignments. Experience of a wide range of clients would be an advantage as would enthusiasm to progress in a short space of time.
