Audit & Accounts Opportunities – Northamptonshire
Looking to gain valuable audit experience while keeping variety in your day-to-day work?
We’re recruiting on behalf of an expanding independent firm that’s actively developing its audit offering for SME clients — part of a broader commitment to delivering a full general practice service. Alongside audit, you’ll continue to work across accounts, tax, and advisory, giving you a well-rounded foundation.
Why this role stands out:
Many independent firms have stepped away from audit due to the regulatory burden — but this firm sees things differently. They’ve invested in building their audit capacity and are offering ACA/ACCA qualified or part-qualified accountants the chance to gain exposure that’s increasingly in demand for career progression.
What You’ll Be Doing:
-
Working across audit, accounts, and tax for a diverse SME client base
-
Building valuable audit experience (essential if you want options later on)
-
Engaging with clients directly and contributing to a growing firm
-
Developing in a supportive team with progression potential
What We’re Looking For:
-
Public practice experience dealing with audit, accounts, and tax for SMEs
-
ACA or ACCA qualified (or part-qualified and actively studying)
-
A “roll your sleeves up” attitude and ambition to progress
-
Some audit experience is essential
This is a great move for someone looking to build on existing audit knowledge, gain more hands-on exposure, and potentially grow with the firm as part of a longer-term succession plan. Equally, it could be the stepping stone that opens doors elsewhere in the future.
Interested? Let’s Talk.
If you’re an accountant with audit, tax or general practice experience, and are thinking about your next step, get in touch.
