Audit Manager

NXTGEN is partnering with a well-established and growing accountancy firm in Bury St Edmunds to find an experienced Audit Manager to join their Corporate Services team. This is the perfect role for a qualified audit professional who thrives on leading people, building strong client relationships, and delivering high-quality audit and advisory work across a varied corporate portfolio.

As Audit Manager, you'll take full ownership of a diverse client portfolio, ensuring audits are delivered efficiently, accurately, and to the highest standard.

• Managing a portfolio of corporate clients, including businesses with turnovers of 5m- 25m+
• Reviewing statutory accounts and overseeing compliance work
• Acting as a trusted point of contact for clients, including attending meetings and site visits
• Reviewing files and working papers, ensuring quality and readiness for senior review
• Leading, mentoring, and developing audit team members at varying stages of their careers
• Supporting the wider team with ad hoc and project-based work, including more complex corporate assignments

What We're Looking For:

• ACA or ACCA qualified
• Strong audit experience gained within an accountancy practice environment
• Confident managing audits from planning stage through to completion
• Solid technical knowledge, with a good understanding of UK GAAP and audit standards
• Comfortable communicating with clients and explaining financial matters clearly
• Proven experience managing and developing a team
• Highly organised, detail-focused, and able to manage deadlines effectively

This is an excellent opportunity for an Audit Manager to join a friendly, collaborative team that genuinely values quality, relationships, and professional development. You'll work closely with a loyal client base and enjoy variety across audit, accounts, and wider corporate services.
