Audit Partner

Your new company

You will ensure compliance and regulatory standards are adhered to, as well as be responsible for leading your own portfolio of clients. This will be a mix of current Audit clients, but in time, newly created work from networking and business development initiatives both in the Audit team but across the wider business.You will take an active part in the training and development of the Audit team.
