Audit & Accounts Manager / Senior Manager (RI)

If you've reached the stage in your career where you enjoy leading audits but want more influence, more variety, and a genuine route towards Responsible Individual status, this could be exactly what you've been waiting for.

This is an opportunity to join a growing independent accountancy practice where your opinion matters, your ideas are welcomed, and your career isn't limited by layers of hierarchy. You'll work with ambitious owner-managed businesses, entrepreneurial clients and complex groups, building long-term relationships rather than simply completing compliance work.

Whether you're already operating at Senior Manager level or you're an experienced Audit & Accounts Manager ready for the next step, you'll be supported by approachable Partners who want to help you develop. If becoming an RI is part of your long-term plan, you'll have the backing and exposure to make it happen while enjoying genuine flexibility, a broad client portfolio and the chance to become a key figure within the firm's future.
