Audit Senior
Bolton | Hybrid (3 days in office) | £45,000-£55,000
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 £45k-£55k 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
