Audit Assistant Manager – Belfast, Newry or Dungannon Hybrid (min. 3 days/week in office) | Permanent A well-established, growing accountancy and business advisory practice in Northern Ireland is looking for an ambitious, qualified Audit Assistant Manager to join their expanding audit and assurance team. This is a firm with a genuinely broad private-client base spanning construction, hospitality and a wide range of other sectors — alongside a fast-growing public sector audit practice that has doubled in size over the past year. This is a rare opportunity to build a career that isn't boxed into one niche: you'll get real depth in public sector/not-for-profit audit work during its intensive season, balanced with a varied portfolio of owner-managed and SME clients the rest of the year. About the Role You'll play a key role in supporting the management of a portfolio of audit and assurance clients — from planning through to completion — while supervising, coaching and developing junior team members and trainees.
