In our Audit and Assurance business this includes Special Purpose Audits, Reporting Accountant roles, Technical Accounting assistance and many other bespoke Assurance projects.
- To support this growth, we have a fantastic opportunity for Seniors to join our team and assist in providing companies of a range of sizes across different sectors with the audit and assurance requirements of the UK and US initial public offering process, and with a wide variety of project-based assurance and accounting topics. These topics include acquisitions and opening balance sheet audits, complex private equity transactions and structures, Sox implementation, and working with our established ESG/Sustainability assurance teams to support the growth of this high demand and increasingly regulated service. They will be responsible for delivering these assurance engagements from within an exciting and newly formed Assurance department within the Audit practice. They will have the opportunity to support the Managers on providing advice to non-audit clients on preparedness for IPO, IFRS/US GAAP transition, and other transaction-based topics. Training for US accreditation will be provided if not already attained.
- We appreciate that everybody has their own unique circumstances, and we will do our best to accommodate yours, creating a schedule that works for you. Transaction based work will have natural peaks and troughs, both demanding and giving flexibility to our teams to balance the needs of our clients with a work-life balance. We are looking both for full time Seniors and for those who wish to gain a cycle of experience which will provide you with the opportunity to gain more insight into the capital markets and audit quality requirements of public companies in different regulatory regimes.
