About the team…

An experience Audit Manager needs to be curious, sceptical, and have a questioning mindset. You need to be adaptable and versatile, with the confidence and composure to engage and liaise with clients and always on hand to support more junior members of the team. As you know, this is no rigid, eyes-down and desk-bound role.

You will get stuck into a diverse range of responsibilities, including;

• Managing and owning a portfolio of either £350k to £600k or £600k to £750k depending on experience
• Work directly with Directors and Partners on projects

• Working on more complex and higher risk clients as well as new clients

At Cooper Parry, we’re in it together. All we ask of our people is that they play all in. You’ll continuously strive to keep learning – whether you’re a trainee or a Partner – and you’ll be brave, stepping out of your comfort zone to tackle new challenges. Above all, be nice. A simple notion, but an irreplaceable part of what makes CP, CP.

In addition to those core values, as an experienced Audit Manager you will be a passionate and determined individual experienced in the field of audit.

You will be fully qualified CA (SA) with demonstrable experience of managing a portfolio of clients and be committed to providing exceptional customer service and building effective working relationships with clients.

• Managing a variety of audit assignments
