Audit Manager

About the role

We are looking to recruit an ambitious Audit Manager to join our new Cheltenham Audit team at an exciting time for the firm.

We’ve got ambitious plans to double the size of our business over the next few years. And having just expanded into the Cheltenham market we’re now seeking to grow our audit team in line with our growth plans.

Working with a broad portfolio of businesses ranging from household names to start ups, you will be looking beyond the core audit essentials and will be providing your clients with advice and management information that will really help them grow and develop.

What’s more you will be able to take full advantage of the hybrid working that we offer to all of our people.

As part of the role, you will be given the opportunity to develop broader skills in areas such as Business Development which will aid your overall career development.

Your day-to-day responsibilities will include: 

• Leading, planning and delivering a broad range of Corporate, Not for Profit and Charity engagements.
• Executing assurance engagements from planning to completion for statutory and group reporting
• Coaching and developing our trainees into becoming accomplished business advisors
• Monitoring budgets and agreeing fees for each assignment
• Managing client relationships and expectations
• Contributing to business development activities in the local marketplace.

To be considered for the role, you will have: 

• ACA/ACCA Qualification (or equivalent)
• Experience of managing a broad portfolio of audit clients
• Great People Management skills
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills that enable you to build rapport with people at all levels
• A strong desire to contribute to the overall success of Bishop Fleming
