Salary SENIOR EXTERNAL AUDIT MANAGER, STATUTORY AUDIT APPOINTMENT, WITH A DIFFERENCE! - London
I am currently supporting a world-renowned organisation who are looking to appoint an experienced statutory auditor to their team. This is a senior appointment within the organisation and is a very exciting opportunity for someone who is perhaps at a crossroads in their career, someone looking to regain some work-life balance but still looking for a challenging role.
This would suit someone looking for an interesting and varied role where you have the autonomy and independence to manage your workload whilst still being supported by an experienced national team of colleagues. This role involves supporting a very varied client base but without the pressures usually seen within an audit role. It does involve travel but only in a regional capacity within a local geographical area, with very occasional travel to London. You will rarely spend more than a day or two on any one audit and you will see varied days with no two days the same. There is very low staff turnover, and you will be working in an experienced team of like-minded individuals with a wealth of knowledge who are supportive, and team orientated.
You will be responsible for working with clients and reviewing audits and it is essential that you have a clear understanding of the organisation's approach, assessing the adequacy of audit evidence, and discussing the overall quality of the audit with the organisation. You will also conduct monitoring reviews in other areas, including assurance. You will see the process through from start to finish and will conclude the audit either with recommendations of what is required and be responsible for reviewing the actions and providing support where needed or to identify if no action is needed. You look at the review and verifying the company's accounting records as per accounting standards and principles looking at the day-to-day management of risks during normal activity within an organisation, making sure they have the right controls and processes in place. You will provide an independent perspective for the clients from an external assurance perspective.
To quote the Senior Manager responsible for the team who is himself from a Top 4 background You work on your own terms, and you can add real value to your clients which they really welcome. The work-life balance is fantastic, and I really do love my job, I have gone from working a 90-hour week to getting my life back.
If you are looking for a new role but perhaps are not sure which direction you want to take or if you are an experienced external auditor who is looking for a change, please do reach out so we can discuss this fantastic local opportunity further. This is NOT a run-of-the-mill audit role!
They also offer a car allowance, a flexible holiday package, a generous pension scheme, private medical, and a work/life balance. Ideally you will be in based in the London area in order to be able to service the clients in the region.
Unfortunately, due to the high number of applications currently being received, only shortlisted candidates will be contacted.
