About the Role

We are looking to recruit a number of talented Qualified or Part Qualified auditors to join our rapidly expanding Public Sector Audit team.

We’ve just been appointed as one of the main firms on the national Public Sector Audit Appointments (PSAA) scheme to deliver a range of public sector external audits for local government, police, fire and national parks.  We’ve also just been ranked fifth in the Accountancy Age Mid-Tier Power Rankings – and we’re the highest ranked firm in the South West.

Outside of the normal day job, there will be plenty of opportunities to get involved in activities that will help you quickly progress to Manager – this can be everything from supporting in our business development programme through to enrolling on our management development training sessions. 

You will get to work with a broad range of clients from local authorities, NHS trusts, Fire and Police authorities and more. 

Acting as a business advisor, you will actively contribute towards the success of your client’s business.

Your responsibilities will include: 

  • Leading and executing audits and other assurance engagements from planning to completion
  • Building strong relationships with your clients and ensuring that a quality service is delivered 
  • Developing and coaching our trainees so that they become accomplished business advisors

You will have the support and guidance of an approachable senior management team who will help you to achieve your long-term career goals.

  • ACA/ACCA Qualified or Part Qualified (or equivalent) – We can provide full study support if you require it

  • An excellent communicator who enjoys building relationships with their clients
