Audit Assistant Manager

NXTGEN is delighted to be supporting a well-established and progressive accountancy practice in Bury St Edmunds with the recruitment of an Audit Assistant Manager to join their growing Corporate Services team. This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced and qualified Auditor who enjoys a client-facing role and is ready to take the next step in their career within a supportive, people-focused firm.

As Audit Assistant Manager, you'll work closely with Managers and Partners, playing a key role in delivering high-quality audit and advisory services to a diverse portfolio of corporate clients. The position offers a genuinely varied workload, with approximately 70% audit and 30% accounts, making it ideal for someone who enjoys breadth in their role and exposure beyond pure audit.

The Role:

Planning, managing, and delivering audit assignments from initial planning through to completion
Managing a portfolio of corporate clients, typically with turnovers ranging from £5m-£20m+
Preparing statutory accounts and supporting with corporation tax compliance
Acting as a key point of contact for clients and building long-term, trusted relationships
Reviewing work prepared by junior team members, ensuring accuracy and high standards
Coaching, mentoring, and supporting trainees as part of your role as Audit Assistant Manager
Managing competing deadlines effectively and performing well under pressure

What We're Looking For:

ACA or ACCA qualified, or a strong newly qualified candidate with relevant experience
Ideally at least one year of post-qualified experience, although this is not essential
A strong audit background gained within an accountancy practice
Experience working with larger corporate clients
Confident communicator who works well both independently and as part of a collaborative team
A proactive, detail-focused mindset with a genuine interest in developing others

This opportunity would suit an Audit Senior looking to step up, or an Audit Assistant Manager seeking a new challenge or greater variety. It's a fantastic role for someone who enjoys getting to know clients, delivering a high-quality service, and contributing to the development of a high-performing team. You'll be joining a firm that truly values collaboration, professional growth, and long-term career progression.
