  • Experience leading audits within a top 50 firm.
  • Exposure to audits with turnovers exceeding £20m in the past year.
  • Technical proficiency, ideally with software such as Pro-audit, CCH Accounts Production, Xero, QuickBooks, Alphatax, and Office 365.
  • Strong communication skills, adaptability, and a passion for self-development.
