Audit and Accounts Senior – London – £50-55k

Audit & Accounts Senior - £50-55,000

My client, a multi Partner, medium-sized central London audit & accounting firm, who have a rich history spanning decades, built from forming a strong reputation for excellence and integrity in the industry are looking to add a solid and high calibre Audit & Accounts Senior to their successful and growing team.

The successful applicant will be a qualified individual holding either the ACA or ACCA qualification and 3 years' UK practice experience behind them.

The key responsibilities will include:

- Lead audit engagements, overseeing all stages from planning to completion, while ensuring compliance with relevant regulations and standards.

All in all, this is an exciting opportunity that would lead to much job satisfaction and be rewarded accordingly - surpassing many counterpart Seniors in the larger, more corporate and reputable audit firms where the hours are much longer, the progression is far slower and being able to reach Partner level is for all intents and purposes virtually unattainable!

If you feel that you want to be recognised, rewarded and compensated for the effort you put into your work, then joining this client of mine would pay real dividends and one that you will look back in the near future and give yourself a pat on the back for making this smart and highly important decision!

Before your peers clock onto this and surpass you in their path to progression, it would be highly advisable to give yourself this opportunity and apply for this position!
