Audit Manager - Crowe UK LLP : Job Details

About the role

If you an audit professional who passionate about delivering high quality client service, our Audit Manager opportunity in Reading could be a brilliant next chapter in your Audit career.

Acting as a mentor, leader and expert across our growing Audit team, you will manage a varied client portfolio that has seen significant growth over the course of the last 4 years. In fact, headcount in our audit team has grown by 100% since y/e March 2020. Whilst the technical expertise and experience to skilfully advise your clients, deliver great audit services and capably guide your team is important - it’s the drive, ambition, personality and values that we’re most interested in. Being a crucial pillar of our team’s growth strategy will require exceptional interpersonal skills and competencies - not just brilliant audit experience.

We think this opportunity will suit you if you can demonstrate:

• Experience and strong achievements as a manager in another audit team, being a skilful and technically sound audit professional.
• A tangible passion for audit that inspires those around you - colleagues and clients alike.
• An equally evident passion for delivering exceptional client service that adds value, underpinned by brilliant relationships you’ve fostered with your clients.
• Aptitude in engaging with 'the bigger picture’. Thinking outside of the remit of merely an auditor. Promoting innovation, nurturing talent, improving culture and motivating others. Setting an example others will be inspired to follow.
• A natural affinity for good business development, strategic thinking and impactful communication.
• The ability to produce thought leadership initiatives that reinforce Crowe’s commitment to its core values - promoting the brand in all aspects of your role.

There’ll be a very real opportunity to develop your commercial acumen, leadership experience and technical prowess in a positive environment and growing firm. Success in this role will be of critical importance to the wider development of the office - offering you a great chance help shape the future of our team.

Did you know…? We are the 9th largest audit firm in the UK, 8th largest in terms of total listed clients, 3rd largest for AIM listed audit clients, 2nd largest for AIM listed clients in the technology sector and 1st largest for clients in the healthcare sector.

Our growth in audit has reached record levels in recent years and the headcount of the Audit team in our Thames Valley office has grown by over 100% since March 2020 (and by more than 200% since March 2015).

Our targets for future growth have been planned and align with recent client wins as well as expected revenue growth - meaning joining our Audit team will provide very clear opportunities for quick career progression.

About you

You will be able to evidence strong technical knowledge of auditing and different accounting standards across a varied range of client types and sizes, with a professional qualification (ACA, ACCA or equivalent) and great career experience to back this up.

You’ll also be an intuitive advisor, demonstrating a sharp commercial acumen allowing you to create innovative solutions for your clients and colleagues. You’ll find it easy to build and maintain great professional relationships with people from all sorts of backgrounds, leveraging these relationships skilfully to identify and exploit opportunities to develop new business.

You’ll be a credible and inspiring leader who enjoys cultivating talent. Motivating colleagues and your team, you’ll have exemplary skills of mentoring and encouragement that will help you guide the emergent careers of our future leaders.
