Audit Assistant Manager

NXTGEN is delighted to be partnering with a well established and growing local accountancy practice to recruit an Audit Assistant Manager into their close knit team. This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced Audit Senior looking to take the next step, or an existing Assistant Manager seeking a role where they can have greater visibility, responsibility, and influence within the business.

Unlike many larger firms, this opportunity offers genuine variety. Whilst audit will form the core of your role, you will also have the chance to gain exposure to accounts, advisory projects, and wider client work, making it ideal for someone who enjoys building well rounded practice experience rather than being siloed into one service line.

The firm has built an excellent reputation locally and is continuing to grow, creating exciting opportunities for ambitious individuals who want to be part of that journey. You''ll work closely with Partners and senior leadership, giving you direct exposure to decision making, client relationships, and the future direction of the firm.

What''s in it for you?

• Join a friendly and close knit team where your contribution is genuinely valued
• Work directly with Partners and senior decision makers
• Gain exposure to audit, accounts, and wider advisory work
• Clear progression opportunities as the firm continues to grow
• Strong client exposure and ownership from day one
• Supportive office based environment with plenty of collaboration and learning opportunities
• Opportunity to play a key role in shaping the future growth of the business

The Role:

• Managing and leading audit assignments from planning through to completion
• Reviewing audit files and ensuring work is delivered to a high technical standard
• Acting as a key point of contact for clients throughout the audit process
• Supervising, mentoring, and developing junior members of the team
• Assisting with the preparation and review of statutory accounts
• Supporting Partners with advisory assignments and specialist client projects
• Identifying opportunities to add value to clients beyond compliance work
• Managing deadlines, budgets, and workflow across multiple assignments
• Building strong relationships with a diverse portfolio of owner managed businesses and SME clients
• Supporting the continued growth and development of the audit function

What We''re Looking For:

• ACA or ACCA qualified, or qualified by experience
• Strong audit experience gained within a UK accountancy practice
• Experience leading audits and reviewing the work of junior team members
• Good working knowledge of UK GAAP and financial reporting standards
• A proactive and client focused approach
• Strong communication and relationship building skills
• Someone who enjoys being part of a collaborative office environment
• An individual keen to broaden their exposure across different areas of practice

This is a brilliant opportunity to join a firm where you''ll be more than just a number. If you''re looking for a role that offers variety, responsibility, strong client exposure, and the chance to be part of a growing local success story, this is definitely worth exploring.
