Semi-Senior Auditor

£27,000–£30,000 | Leeds | Hybrid Working

Looking for your next step in audit? Want to join an award-winning accountancy practice where you can develop your technical skills, gain exposure to a varied client portfolio and enjoy a genuinely healthy work-life balance?

We're working with a friendly, down-to-earth independent accountancy practice in Leeds that is looking to add a Semi-Senior Auditor to its growing team.

This is a great opportunity to join a firm that puts learning and development at the heart of what it does, while offering the flexibility and support that can sometimes be missing in practice.

Why join?

  • Award-winning firm: Join an established practice with a reputation for quality and a varied client base.
  • Excellent learning culture: Develop your audit and accounts experience in a supportive environment where you're encouraged to learn and progress.
  • Work-life balance: Little to no overtime, with occasional additional hours when required.
  • Flexible working: Hybrid working and flexible start and finish times, with core hours between 10am and 4pm.
  • Great benefits: 25 days' annual leave, your birthday off, bank holidays, a free on-site gym, pension and death-in-service cover.
  • Study support: Support towards professional qualifications, including ACA, ACCA and AAT.

The role

You'll work across a varied portfolio of clients, taking responsibility for key areas of audit assignments while continuing to build your technical knowledge and confidence.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Completing the majority of sections within audit files.
  • Taking responsibility for smaller company audits, with support from more senior colleagues where needed.
  • Assisting with statutory accounts preparation.
  • Drafting tax computations.
  • Working with a diverse client base, including businesses with turnovers ranging from approximately £10m to £300m.

The role is predominantly audit-focused, with around 80% of your time spent on audit and 20% on accounts.

What are they looking for?

  • Experience working within an accountancy practice, ideally an independent firm.
  • Around 2–3 years' relevant experience, although the quality of your experience is just as important as the number of years.
  • Exposure to audit and accounts preparation.
  • Someone keen to develop their technical ability and take on increasing responsibility.
  • A team player who enjoys working in a friendly, collaborative environment.

The benefits

  • Salary of £27,000–£30,000.
  • Hybrid working.
  • Flexible working hours, with core hours of 10am–4pm.
  • 25 days' holiday, plus bank holidays and your birthday off.
  • 3% employer pension contribution after three months.
  • Death-in-service cover of four times salary after 12 months.
  • Employee Assistance Programme, including some health-related benefits.
  • Free on-site gym.
  • Study support and paid study leave arrangements.

If you're looking for a practice that will invest in your development while giving you the flexibility to enjoy life outside work, this could be a great next step.
