Rawlinson & Hunter LLP ("R&H") is recruiting for an Audit Team Leader in the Corporate Services Department who can work within the department, running audits for a range of clients from SMEs to large-sized, complex groups.
The client base is extensive, ranging from the business affairs of high net worth individuals to multi-national groups. We are involved in the full spectrum of businesses, from start-up and entrepreneurial companies to mature groups, across a wide variety of commercial, generally high margin, sectors (e.g. motor sport, high end retail brand, property development, technology, financial services) and the 'not for profit' sector.
The diverse, unusual and demanding client base makes working at R&H rewarding and challenging. Our approach is to provide proactive advice to clients, not a range of options hedged with caveats.
As an Audit Team Leader, your day to day work will encompass:
1. Working closely with managers and directors to undertake audit risk assessments, audit planning and to deal with audit and accounting issues arising during your work.
2. Ensuring the delivery of audit assignments in a timely and cost effective manner.
3. Assessing the progress of audits and providing guidance and support to junior staff including on client site.
4. Extensive liaising with clients throughout the audit processes of planning, fieldwork and completion.
5. Involvement in ACA students' training and development and staff review process.
In addition, the audit team supports the Transactions Support Group of the Corporate Services Department. The successful candidate has the opportunity to get involved with one-off special projects including:
1. Preparation of statutory financial statements for big 4 firm's audit clients.
2. Valuation Work.
3. Acquisition and disposal due diligence exercises.
4. Review and documentation of internal control procedures and systems.
This is not solely a statutory audit compliance role. There is great scope for capable individuals to broaden their business skills across the Corporate Services and Taxation Departments from involvement in due diligence, accountancy support and other commercial advisory assignments. Opportunities for career progression within the Firm are consequently excellent.
Requirements
The main criteria for candidates applying for this position are a combination of strong technical and analytical skills combined with first rate client handling skills. The ability to work on one's own initiative in the research and application of technical knowledge is essential.
The successful candidate will also be able to demonstrate the following skills, experience and attributes:
1. Recently qualified or experienced ACAs or ACCAs.
2. Excellent technical skills.
3. Varied statutory audit and accounts preparation experience.
4. A strong and up-to-date knowledge of FRS 102 & ISAs (preferably also of IFRS but not essential).
5. Good communication and inter-personal skills.
6. A team approach to working and a 'can do' attitude.
7. Ability to delegate to and supervise junior staff.
8. Ability to work under pressure to a high standard.
9. Good IT skills and receptive to technology changes.
We are an equal opportunities employer and pride ourselves on the increasing diversity of our workforce. We believe in the best person for the job.
