About the Role

If you're an experienced Audit Manager or stepping up from a Senior role, you'll know the difference between just "doing audits" and actually owning client relationships. This Audit Manager opportunity gives you that ownership. You'll be trusted with your own portfolio, given the space to lead audits your way, and supported by a team that values your input.

Based in Shrewsbury, this Audit Manager role is ideal if you're ready for more visibility and influence without losing the hands-on work you enjoy. You'll work closely with partners, build meaningful client relationships, and play a key role in shaping how audits are delivered. It's a chance to step into a position where your voice is heard, your development matters, and your work has real impact.

If your current role feels repetitive or lacking progression, this could be the move that changes that.

Role Overview

  • Attend and lead client meetings pre and post audit
  • Review work and support the development of audit seniors and trainees
  • Work closely with partners on technical matters and deadlines
  • Identify opportunities to add value and strengthen client relationships

  • Strong audit background within practice
  • Experience managing audit assignments and client relationships
  • Confident communicator who builds trust easily
