Audit Assistant Manager - Agile & Flexi Working

Our client, a leading firm of chartered accountants in Milton Keynes, is recruiting for an Audit Assistant Manager (80% audits / 20% accounts) to join their award winning audit team, offering fantastic exposure, development opportunities and work-life balance.

This is an exciting opportunity to join a forward-thinking accountancy practice who look to continually develop their staff. Within this role, you will be an enthusiastic, qualified accountant looking for the next steps in your career. The Assistant Manager role provides exactly that, as they assist you through your career development journey, towards Manager level and beyond!

When first taking on this role after qualification, you will still be carrying out Senior work, but on larger more complex jobs and will be involved in a lot more of the planning and completion. You will lead these jobs and be given feedback and development points from managers to work towards. You will be involved in closing meetings and will see many jobs through from start to finish alongside managers, to prepare you for management positions.

You will take on more and more responsibility in the training and development of Trainees and Apprentices and will be key in managing them throughout the jobs they are working on for you. As you progress through the Assistant Manager journey you will be given a portfolio of your own to manage. At the start, the split between Manager jobs and Senior jobs will be weighted on the Senior side whilst you build up your skills, however, as you progress through your development journey the split will shift towards more managerial work with a larger portfolio.
