Audit Senior

Audit Senior

Bolton | Hybrid (3 days in office) | £40,000-£50,000

 

If you’re newly qualified (or close to it) and starting to think about what’s next - this could be worth a conversation.

 

I’m working with a well-established, top-tier accountancy firm in Bolton with a genuinely strong reputation across the UK. They’re not corporate, not political, and not trying to be Manchester. They’ve built a stable, close-knit audit team - and that shows. People don’t tend to leave.

 

They’re now looking for an Audit Senior (or strong finalist) who wants to step into a role where:

• You’ll lead audits and deal directly with clients

• You won’t be siloed into one sector

• You’re trusted to get on with the job

• You’re not commuting into Manchester every day

 

The client base is varied - manufacturing, construction, not-for-profit, professional services - largely SME and owner-managed. It’s hands-on, relationship-led audit. Not box-ticking.

 

What they’re looking for:

• ACA or ACCA qualified (or within 6 months)

• Solid UK practice audit experience

• Comfortable leading fieldwork

• Confident speaking to clients face-to-face

• Someone who wants to be part of a team - not fully remote

 

They operate hybrid working (2 days in the office), but culture matters here. They’re collaborative, approachable, and properly team-oriented.

 

Why consider it?

• Salary £40k-£50k depending on level

• Clear path toward Assistant Manager

• No city-centre commute or parking costs

• Broad client exposure

• Supportive leadership team

• Study support if required

• Good holiday allowance + option to buy more

• Overtime paid

 

If you’re currently in a larger firm and feeling like a small cog, or at a mid-tier where progression feels slow - this could be a really sensible move. Equally, if you’re at a local practice and ready for more responsibility, I’d like to speak.
