Audit Partner

Overview

Inherit a £1.5m+ portfolio and lead the next phase of regional growth.

This is a rare opportunity to step into a leadership role with an established client base following a planned Partner retirement, while shaping the continued expansion of a high-performing regional office.

Why this business

This opportunity sits within a globally connected professional services firm with a strong reputation across advisory, tax and audit. With offices across London and the South East, the business combines the scale of an international network with the culture of a collaborative partnership.

Its regional offices are a key focus for growth, with investment directed toward expanding leadership capability and strengthening relationships across local business communities. The St Albans office plays an important role in that strategy, serving a diverse client base of nonprofit organisations and owner-managed businesses across Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Hertfordshire.

• Lead a diverse audit portfolio spanning nonprofit organisations and owner-managed businesses, including taking ownership of an established £1.5m+ client portfolio
• Drive new business activity across Beds, Bucks and Herts, building strong relationships across regional business and community networks
• Champion high audit standards while providing strategic oversight of complex client engagements
• Collaborate with a leadership team of RI Directors and Partners to shape the continued growth of the regional practice

• Experience operating at Partner level or as a senior RI Director ready to step into a Partner position
• Strong expertise working with charities or nonprofit organisations alongside SME or owner-managed business clients, rather than specialising purely in one sector
• Demonstrated ability to win and grow client relationships through credible business development, with an existing network in London or the wider region and the ambition to develop new relationships across Beds, Bucks and Herts
• ACA qualified (or equivalent) with strong technical audit leadership

You’re a commercially minded audit leader who enjoys building trusted relationships and developing strong regional networks. You bring credibility across both nonprofit and commercial client environments and are motivated by the opportunity to inherit an established portfolio while driving new growth.
