If you’re already running audits but not getting the progression or recognition, this role offers a clearer path forward.  You’ll take ownership of your own jobs, work directly with clients, and review junior staff, within a Top 15 firm that’s part of a global network. That means proper structure, bigger opportunities, and a defined route into management rather than waiting for someone to leave.  It’s a step up in responsibility, but also in how much you’re trusted. The expectation is that you can run an audit properly and deliver a clean file, not just support from the sidelines.
