Are you an audit focused accountant experienced in the planning and completion of audit looking to find a supportive employer who will support you to finalise your qualifications and further your career as an Audit Senior on an almost fully remote basis?

This role is on offer remotely, though the client would expect the successful candidate to visit the office in Chester for a couple of days each month.

There’s a great vibe at this firm. A modern staff room with ping pong, a pool table and a coffee machine that makes proper coffee! And for the right people this firm is able to offer a high level of autonomy to get the job done alongside a supportive approach to mentoring and development that will help you further your career and achieve great results.

You might be ACA/ACCA qualified or you may have a few exams left to complete. You’ll be confident in delivering audit services and being part of a team that retains loyal client relationships. You’ll be energised and keen to contribute ideas and help the Partners grow and nurture the firm.
