Audit Senior £46K

Audit Senior Opportunity | Horsham | £46k+

AJ Chambers are actively seeking an Audit and Accounts Senior to join a leading accountancy firm based in Horsham.

The role:

Audit and accounts senior reporting to managers and, in some instances, directly to partners.

Client facing - lots of opportunities to meet with clients during audit fieldwork and at planning/closing meetings.

Providing guidance and support to more junior colleagues.

A mixture of audit and accounts. We prepare the accounts for many of our audit clients, so a strong understanding of reporting standards is essential.

Strong IT skills will be a given, especially in MS office products such as Excel and Word.

Some experience auditing charities and especially academies would be an advantage, although it not essential since training will be provided.

The Ideal Candidate:

Candidates will be motivated, hard-working, and will come from a practice background with an appropriate professional qualification (ACA or ACCA).

They will be able to demonstrate good practical accountancy and communication skills.

The right person can expect early responsibility and will progress through the ranks and play a real role in the future of our practice.

We expect the successful candidate will demonstrate the following characteristics:

Excellent attention to detail

Strong oral and written communication skills

Confidence to build rapport and manage a professional relationship with clients

Excel and accounting software knowledge

Remuneration and benefits:

Commensurate with experience

Annual bonus (not guaranteed)

Normal hours of work are 37.5 per week, to be worked from 8.30am to 5.00pm or 9.00am to 5.30pm (flexibility over working hours with agreement)

Flexible working arrangements; Covid has demonstrated that we can all work equally as well from home as we can from the office. We generally expect audit staff to be in the office a minimum of 50% of the time they are not out at clients completing audit fieldwork, but this is not stringently policed and as long as the work is completed and the arrangement is working we are happy to be flexible.

25 days holiday, plus statutory bank/public holidays

The ability to 'purchase’ up to extra days leave in salary sacrifice.

We are always on the look out to expand our team with excellent people, so offer an employee referral bonus.
