A role with purpose, variety and plenty of room to make your markIf you're an experienced Audit Manager who enjoys working closely with clients rather than simply moving from one audit file to the next, this could be a very interesting opportunity.
We're working with a highly regarded professional services firm with a strong reputation for its people, its client relationships and the quality of work it delivers.
The role sits within a growing Non-Profit & Charity sector team, giving you the opportunity to work with a varied portfolio of organisations where your advice genuinely matters. And yes, there will still be audit files. But thankfully, that's not the whole story.
What you'll be doing
You'll take ownership of a portfolio of charity and not-for-profit clients, overseeing engagements from initial planning through to completion and sign-off.
You'll also:
- Build strong, trusted relationships with clients and become a genuine point of contact for their audit and wider financial needs.
- Lead audit assignments, making sure they are delivered efficiently, commercially and to a high standard.
- Work with a varied portfolio including charities, not-for-profit organisations, educational establishments and social enterprises.
- Apply your technical knowledge to more complex audit matters, including Charity SORP requirements.
- Review work and support more junior members of the team, helping them develop their technical and professional skills.
- Get involved in improving processes, sharing knowledge and strengthening the firm's offering within the sector.
- Identify opportunities to support clients beyond the immediate audit where appropriate.
- Play an active role in developing new relationships and contributing to the continued growth of the non-profit and charity portfolio.
- Maintain a strong focus on audit quality, risk management and professional standards.
- This isn't simply an opportunity to inherit a portfolio and keep the wheels turning.
- You'll have genuine ownership, senior client exposure and the opportunity to help shape a growing area of the business.
- You'll be joining a firm that places real value on collaboration, development and doing good work with good people. There is a strong focus on supporting career progression, while giving experienced professionals the autonomy to get on with the job.
- £67,000–£85,000 salary, depending on experience and seniority
- Hybrid working
- Canterbury or Chatham location
- A varied and interesting client portfolio
- Strong opportunities for progression
- A collaborative, supportive working environment
- The chance to work with organisations making a genuine difference
- You'll ideally be ACA, ACCA, ICAS or similarly qualified, with solid external audit experience gained within professional practice.
- Experience working with charities, not-for-profit organisations, education or social enterprises would be highly advantageous, particularly if you're comfortable with Charity SORP.
- Confidently manage a portfolio of clients and multiple assignments.
- Lead audits from planning through to completion.
- Communicate comfortably with senior stakeholders.
- Support, coach and develop junior team members.
- Work independently while being a strong team player.
- Combine technical audit expertise with a commercial and client-focused approach.
- Spot opportunities to build relationships and contribute to business growth.
