As Audit Director, you'll take responsibility for a portfolio of larger, complex audit clients, typically owner–managed businesses and corporates up to GBP100m turnover. You'll lead audit engagements end–to–end, sign off audit work, and act as a trusted adviser to senior client stakeholders.

You'll also play a key role in:

• Leading, developing, and mentoring audit teams
• Strengthening long–term client relationships at director and board level
• Supporting the firm's growth through business development and winning new audit work
• Contributing to the strategic development of the audit practice

What they're looking for

• Audit RI status
• Strong experience leading and signing off audits for mid–market/larger corporates
• Proven ability to manage senior client relationships and act as a trusted adviser
• Commercial mindset, with the capability and appetite to support new client wins
• Someone motivated by progression, influence, and future equity participation

Why apply?

• Realistic route to equity in a non–PE backed firm
• Highly regarded firm with a collaborative, people–first culture
• Terrific office in central location, including onsite gym and roof terrace
• High–quality, varied client base
• Opportunity to genuinely shape the audit practice as the business grows
