Job Description

Audit Senior Leading North London Accountancy Practice

About the Role

This is a strong opportunity for an audit professional looking to take on meaningful responsibility within a well-regarded, independently owned accountancy practice in North London.

Our client is a growing, multi partner firm that punches well above its weight, attracting a client base that rivals many central London practices in both quality and variety. From owner-managed businesses to international groups and London Stock Exchange-listed companies, the range of work on offer is genuinely broad.

What sets this practice apart is its culture. Partners are directly involved in day-to-day work and in the development of their people, creating an environment where career progression is taken seriously from day one.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Leading audit assignments end to end, from planning through to completion and sign-off
  • Taking ownership of client portfolios and delivering work on time and within budget
  • Preparing and reviewing financial statements in line with FRS102 and FRS102-1A
  • Supporting and supervising junior members of the audit team, contributing to their development
  • Maintaining clear and professional communication with both clients and colleagues throughout each engagement
  • Working across a varied client base, including owner-managed businesses, international groups and listed companies

What We're Looking For

  • ACA or ACCA qualified, or nearly qualified with significant practical experience
  • Demonstrable experience leading audits independently across the full audit cycle
  • Strong working knowledge of FRS102 and FRS102-1A
  • Experience preparing financial statements and taking ownership of deliverables
  • The ability to support junior colleagues and contribute positively to a team environment
  • Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, both with clients and internal stakeholders
  • Comfortable working from the North London office on a full-time, in-person basis

Nice to Have

  • Exposure to IFRS reporting
  • Experience with listed company audits or international group structures

Why Join

Our client has built a reputation on quality work, lasting client relationships, and a partnership that genuinely invests in its people. You'll work in a spacious, open-plan office environment that encourages collaboration - a deliberate choice that reflects the firm's ethos around teamwork and shared learning.

Partners are actively involved in the ongoing development of team members, with a clear pathway for those looking to progress in their careers over the longer term.
