Audit Assistant Manager / Audit Manager Eastbourne £45,000 £60,000 A genuinely good independent firm with its own dedicated audit department. That combination is harder to find than you'd think. A well-established and highly regarded independent accountancy practice in Eastbourne is looking for an Audit Assistant Manager or Audit Manager, with the level set against the right person, to join a settled, partner-led team. The firm is properly independent. Not part of a network, not part of a wider group, and not reporting into a head office somewhere else. It is, however, big enough to run a dedicated audit function in-house, which means real audits, real planning work, and proper client exposure rather than slotting into someone else's process. You'll also get a genuine mix of audit and accounts work. If you enjoy variety and don't want to live inside a busy-season cycle for ten months of the year, this kind of split is hard to beat. The role: Running audits from planning through to completion Managing and reviewing the work of junior staff A mix of audit and accounts assignments across a varied client base Direct contact with partners and clients Helping shape how the audit team grows over the next few years Who this will suit: ACA or ACCA qualified 2 to 4+ years post-qualified, depending on level Practice-trained, comfortable across both audit and accounts Looking for proper progression in a stable, well-run firm Based in or able to commute to Eastbourne What's on offer: £45,000 to £60,000, depending on level and experience Strong, clearly mapped progression A genuine balance of audit and accounts work Real client exposure across a varied portfolio A long-established firm with a supportive, low-turnover team If you're an experienced auditor looking for a step up, or a manager who's quietly outgrown your current setup, this is well worth a conversation.
