Job Description

Audit Senior Preston Circa £40,000 Flexible Working 36 Days Leave

Looking for a role where you can take the lead on audits and genuinely move your career forward?

I'm working with a progressive, expanding accountancy firm in Preston that's seeking an Audit Senior to join its growing team. This is an ideal step for someone who's ACA/ACCA qualified (or close to it) and wants more responsibility, more client interaction and a clearer pathway to advancement.

This isn't your standard audit position-you'll manage your own portfolio, work closely with clients, support junior colleagues and be part of a practice that truly invests in developing its people.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Taking charge of audit assignments from planning through to completion, overseeing budgets, timelines, fieldwork and final reporting across a varied client base
  • Building and maintaining strong client relationships as a trusted adviser
  • Reviewing work and guiding junior team members, helping them strengthen their audit and accounts skills
  • Preparing statutory accounts for limited companies
  • Ensuring all assignments are delivered efficiently, accurately and to a high technical standard

What We're Looking For

  • ACA/ACCA qualified (or nearly qualified)
  • Minimum of 3 years' experience within an accountancy practice
  • Solid understanding of UK audit and accounting standards
  • Confident leading audits and managing client relationships
  • Full UK driving licence

What's in It for You?

Salary circa £40,000

Flexible working

36 days holiday including Christmas closure & Bank Holidays

5% employer pension contribution

Enhanced family leave, sick pay & life assurance

Clear progression opportunities and ongoing professional development

Opportunities like this-offering flexibility, progression and real client exposure-don't come around often.

If you're ready for a new challenge and want to join a firm where your career can truly flourish, apply today or get in touch for a confidential chat.

(Not actively looking but curious about what else is out there? I'm always happy to have a no-pressure, confidential conversation about this role or other positions we're currently recruiting for.)
