About the role

Audit is about giving people confidence in the numbers behind a business. As an auditor, you'll look closely at a company's financial records to check they're accurate and complete. You'll work with a variety of clients, from household names to innovative start-ups, building strong client relationships and developing technical expertise in audit and financial reporting. You'll get hands-on from day one, working with real data sets, selecting samples, gathering evidence from clients, and testing it to assess real-world impact. You'll analyse financial statements and review internal controls, learning how companies manage money, risk and operations. You'll study for a relevant professional qualification (typically ACA, ICAS, CFAB, AAT, ACCA, CIMA or DTS) which will complement your technical knowledge.

Requirements

Commercial curiosity - genuine interest in clients' businesses and an eye for spotting opportunities to add value. A digital explorer's mindset - curiosity for digital tools and data, and a drive to find smarter solutions. Adaptability - embracing change, asking good questions, and picking things up quickly. Strong problem-solving skills - critical thinking, sound judgement, and attention to detail. Collaborative communication - listening well, adapting your approach, and building trust. A proactive approach to your career - taking ownership of your growth and seeking out opportunities. Flexible approach to academic entry requirements considered alongside strengths and motivations.
