Martin Aitken & Co Ltd is one of Scotland's leading independent firms of chartered accountants and business advisers.
From their fantastic offices in Glasgow, they provide their clients with access to a range of audit & accounting, tax, business advisory, corporate finance, and financial services.
Founded in 1897, they have remained at the forefront of Scottish commerce because they have consistently and successfully helped their clients - businesses, charities, social enterprises and private individuals to account, comply, plan and forecast their future financial and business and personal needs and requirements.
As a result of strong and sustained growth, they have an opportunity for an Audit Senior to join their award-winning team in order to work closely with some exceptional clients.
Job Summary:
This role will enjoy working on audit assignments with an interesting range of clients. A key requirement of the role will be the ability to take responsibility for all aspects of the audit process including planning, fieldwork, completion, and provide a completed audit file for manager/partner review.
You will also be responsible for the supervision of junior staff and will need to be able to communicate effectively with clients and colleagues. You will have general year-end compliance accountancy responsibilities together with the preparation of relevant business tax computations. You will be expected to use your technical knowledge to identify areas for improvement/ efficiency.
Responsibilities will include:
• Being involved in the full audit cycle; planning, fieldwork, and completion; and prepare a full file for review.
• Delegate appropriate audit tasks to junior members of the audit team.
• Preparation of year-end statutory accounts for sole traders, partnerships, limited companies, and charities, with a good working knowledge of FRS 102 where relevant.
• Engaging with clients on basic issues and bring more complex issues to the attention of senior staff.
• Assisting in identifying, researching and resolving accounting issues.
• Providing clients with advice on day-to-day accounting transactions and appropriate accounting treatment.
• Understanding the finance and accounting functions generally performed by a business (e.g. sales, purchasing, A/R, etc) and common best practices/processes for how they operate.
About you
You will be a fully qualified accountant (ACCA, ICAS, etc) with previous experience gained within audit/accountancy within a public practice firm. You will have good experience in preparing accounts under FRS102, and an understanding of charity accounting would also be beneficial.
You may have gained some experience of starting to review the work of junior/trainee staff and provide guidance to them, and will be interested in progressing to share your experience with others.
Excellent communication skills and a drive to provide best in class client care are essential.
You will be looking to work in an engaging, fun, and professional environment where progression, training, and continuous development are highly valued. You will be part of a great team, where you can forge a career path based on your hard work and aspirations.
