About the Role
My prestigious East Kent client is looking for an ambitious and solutions-driven individual to join our Accounts and Audit team as an Assistant Manager.
You’ll work directly with a broad range of clients, as well as Partners and senior leadership, helping to deliver high-quality audits and accounts across a growing portfolio.
This is a role where you’ll be trusted to take ownership, lead client meetings, and mentor junior team members, while being fully supported by a collaborative team around you. With a mix of audit and non-audit work, you’ll enjoy variety, challenge and plenty of opportunity to make your mark
What we’re looking for
We’re looking for people who think ahead, speak up, and get stuck in. People with a growth mindset, who are ready to challenge themselves and keep moving forward.
You’ll be someone who brings energy and attention to detail, who works well with others and thrives in a collaborative environment. You’ll aim to solve, not just deliver — thinking commercially, practically and creatively to get to the heart of the problem.
What about you?
