About the opportunity

Are you newly qualified (or just one or two exams away from ACA or ACCA)? Ready to make an impact from day one? A leading UK audit firm is looking for talented Senior Associates to join a dynamic, growing corporate audit team – and they genuinely want people who bring energy, curiosity, and a collaborative spirit.

What you'll be doing

This isn't your typical audit role. You'll work across a varied portfolio of owner-managed businesses and corporate clients, each bringing different challenges and learning opportunities. Real variety means real development.

As a Senior Associate, you'll:

• Lead and deliver client audit assignments, working alongside experienced managers and partners who'll invest in your growth
• Mentor and coach junior team members (yes, really – even as a newly qualified)
• Build strong client relationships and act as the day-to-day point of contact
• Take genuine responsibility for audit planning, execution, and problem-solving
• Identify business improvement opportunities and present audit findings to clients
• Develop your technical knowledge across different business structures and accounting standards

Why this role? Why this firm?

The Kent office is experiencing real growth, which means you won't just be processing audits – you'll be part of building something. The team genuinely enjoys working together and outside of work, socials happen regular and they're serious about creating an inclusive environment where everyone can thrive and succeed.

Flexibility that actually works

Hybrid working isn't a buzzword here – it's real. You'll have flexibility to balance office time (where the learning and collaboration happens) with remote working. The firm listens to its people and adapts to your needs.

What we're looking for

• Recently qualified or within 1-3 exams of ACA completion
• Solid auditing foundation and good grasp of auditing standards
• Genuine passion for client service
• Energy, enthusiasm, and a drive to develop your career
• Someone who brings ideas to the table and wants to be part of a team

The real talk

This role demands attention to detail and the ability to manage competing priorities. You'll be challenged – that's intentional. But you'll have support, mentoring, and clear pathways to progress. The salary range of £42,000–£52,000 reflects your experience level and potential.

Ready?

If you're someone who's just qualified (or nearly there) and wants to work somewhere that genuinely invests in people, supports diverse backgrounds, and lets you build a real career in audit – this could be your next move.
