Senior Manager, Financial Services, Audit & Assurance, Bristol/Cardiff

**Your opportunity Our financial services audit team is one of the leading practices in the region**. Due to recent successes we are looking to recruit individuals to support the delivery of external audit and advisory services to our clients. Our clients include FTSE listed entities, foreign and privately owned organisations operating across the life & general insurance, retail banking, asset finance and wealth management. As part of our successful team you will play an important role in maintaining and growing the practice and developing our people.

The team has a number of existing client engagements including internal audit outsource and co-source and advisory projects across finance transformation, risk, controls and other areas. In addition, we are seeing increasing demand from large and high profile clients for short and medium term secondments into their finance functions.

Due to the implementation of new accounting standards, other prudential regulations, such as Solvency II, many of our clients are asking for support from us as they respond to change and embed their new processes. This gives us opportunities for our financial services practitioners to assist our clients in areas such as risk management frameworks, governance structures, internal audit, credit risk, Pillar 3 reporting, and finance transformation, working closely with colleagues who specialise in prudential and conduct regulation, actuarial and risk advisory.

We encourage consideration of flexible ways of working, both formal and informal arrangements that allow for the best outcomes for our people and our clients. If this opportunity is of interest to you with some flexibility, please do discuss with us.
