Audit and Accounts Senior – London – £50-55,000

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 portfolio of clients you shall be able to work ion in this job will be most interesting: celebrities (sports / music / entertainment) as well as real estate, retail, financial services and a general mix of OMB / SME clients from other commercial sectors.

The key responsibilities will include:

- Lead audit engagements, overseeing all stages from planning to completion, while ensuring compliance with relevant regulations and standards.
- Conduct risk assessments and tailor audit programs to address key areas of concern.
- Prepare audit planning documentation, including programs and budgets, in a timely manner.
- Perform substantive testing and compliance checks, identifying and resolving any discrepancies.
- Co-ordinate and manage audit teams, ensuring assignments are completed within established timeframes.
- Prepare financial statements (under FRS 102) and provide recommendations for improvement.
- Mentor junior staff members, providing support and guidance as needed.

With nice new plush offices in the heart of central London and a vibrant and friendly team who get on really well whilst welcoming other likeminded friendly professional individuals to join them, along with having an excellent work-life balance, fast-track career progression - this should all be nicely geared up for any recently qualified Senior auditor / accountant to want to challenge themselves in such an organisation.

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!

Senior Manager – London – £75-85,000

Manager / Senior Manager - (medium sized West End firm in London) - up to £85k

Nine partner private client firm of Chartered Accountants in the West End seeks to recruit a qualified ACA or ACCA with more than five years post qualification experience.

The role is an audit and accounts manager role with the clients being corporate commercial clients, mainly high quality owner managed businesses.

We are looking for a technically strong qualified accountant with detailed knowledge and solid experience of auditing standards, UK GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards.

Experience of working with clients in the property sector is an advantage.

The practice workload fluctuates with an extremely busy audit and accounts season from January through to September, which may result in long hours at certain times of the year.

We are an ICAEW, ACA training practice and an approved ACCA training practice; the role requires the individual to assist with the technical training and development of our team.

The successful candidate will be reporting directly to at least five of the partners of the practice and therefore an ability to prioritise, organise and manage a busy workload is essential.
