Audit Manager

Audit Manager – Accountancy Practice

Location: London (Hybrid: 3 days in office, 2 days WFH)

Salary: £60,000 – £70,000

Tired of long hours, repetitive audits, and feeling like just another number in a Top 10 firm?

Our client, a progressive accountancy practice, offers something different — ownership of a ready-made portfolio, a better work-life balance, and faster progression without the bureaucracy.

The Opportunity

We are working exclusively on an opportunity for an Audit Manager to join the team. This role comes with a clearly defined portfolio (90% audit), carved out and ready to be managed. You will take ownership of a portfolio of £500-600k income, including investment properties, charities, and private clients across a range of sizes.

You’ll inherit a structured, established portfolio from day one.

What We’re Looking For

• ACA/ACCA qualified (or equivalent), with proven experience managing audits and client portfolios.
  

• Broad sector experience across a diverse client base.
  

• Strong people skills and client-facing ability.
  

• A formal “Manager” title isn’t essential — portfolio and team management experience is valued.
  

Why Join This Firm?

This is a practice that blends a professional, high-quality audit service with a more people-focused and supportive culture than many Top 10 firms.

• Ownership – run your own carved-out portfolio.
  

• Progression – faster routes to senior leadership.
  

• Engaging Work – diverse portfolio across sectors.
  

• Perks & Balance – hybrid working, summer hours, and regular team socials. - Friday 1:30pm finishes in summer!
  

Employee Benefits

• Hybrid working (3 days office / 2 days WFH)
  

• 25 days holiday + bank holidays
  

• Birthday leave & Summer Fridays
  

• Private medical scheme & healthcare cash plan
  

• Professional subscription support & study leave (if applicable)
  

• Bonus scheme & long service rewards
  

• Social events, Friday lunches, and wellbeing initiatives
