NXTGEN are excited to be partnering with a modern, ambitious, and fast growing accountancy firm that is continuing to invest heavily in both its people and audit function. This is an excellent opportunity for an Audit Senior or Assistant Manager who is looking for more than just another practice role. Here, you will gain genuine responsibility, real client exposure, and the opportunity to build a long term career within a firm that truly values progression, collaboration, and individual growth.

The firm has built an outstanding reputation for combining high quality client work with a supportive and down to earth culture. Despite their continued growth, they have retained the feel of a close knit team where your voice is heard, your development is prioritised, and your contribution genuinely matters. You will not be lost in a large corporate structure or limited by unnecessary hierarchy. Instead, you will be trusted, supported, and given the freedom to progress at a pace that matches your ambitions.

Whether you are an experienced Audit Senior ready to make the move into Assistant Manager level, or already operating in a more senior role but wanting greater variety and influence, this is definitely a role worth exploring.

What's in it for you:
* Real ownership of your own client portfolio from the outset
* Clear and realistic progression through to Manager and beyond
* Exposure to a broad and varied client base across multiple sectors and industries
* The opportunity to become a genuine trusted adviser to clients
* A supportive and approachable leadership team that actively invests in development
* Strong focus on mentoring, coaching, and helping you achieve your long term career goals
* A collaborative environment where ideas and initiative are genuinely encouraged
* Competitive salary with regular reviews and progression discussions

The role:
* Managing a varied portfolio of audit clients, ensuring assignments are delivered to a high technical standard and within agreed deadlines
* Leading audit assignments from planning and risk assessment through to completion and final review
* Reviewing audit files and statutory financial statements ahead of Partner sign off
* Acting as the main point of contact for clients, building strong and lasting relationships throughout the year
* Identifying key risk areas and providing clear direction to audit teams on site
* Monitoring budgets, managing work in progress, and supporting fee discussions where appropriate
* Coaching, mentoring, and developing junior team members through regular feedback and support
* Supporting wider team planning, workflow management, and contributing to the continued growth of the audit department
* Working closely with senior leadership on improving processes, client service, and team development initiatives

The successful candidate will be ACA or ACCA qualified, or qualified by experience, with strong audit experience gained within a UK accountancy practice. You will be confident managing multiple assignments, reviewing work to a high standard, and leading client conversations in a professional and commercially aware manner.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone looking to join a firm where progression is genuinely achievable, your contribution is recognised, and you can build a long term career surrounded by a supportive and ambitious team. If you are looking for more ownership, more opportunity, and a clearer route forward, get in touch to find out more.
