Rare audit partnership opportunity where an existing quality audit portfolio awaits. The firm is a highly respected, high growth and innovative firm of chartered accountants.

As specialists in advising and auditing quality (typically £15m - £50m turnover) privately owned Yorkshire businesses this Leeds based firm has experienced in excess of double digit growth in each of the last few years. Entrepreneurial clients like visionary advisors and this is where the firm distinguishes itself from its peers. Already one of the region's most well-known independent audit firms the aforementioned growth has led to the need for an additional partner. With fellow partners, you will take responsibility for auditing a sizeable portfolio of SME clients - unlike many partnership opportunities there is a ready-made portfolio awaiting you - it does not need to be built from scratch and nor is it only one or two clients, you will commence with around 80%+ of a full portfolio.

You will need to be a qualified accountant, ACA, CA or ACCA with a pre-existing practising certificate and RI status OR the ability to gain one quickly. Up to date experience from within a quality firm of accountants is highly desirable though recent departees to industry who wish to return would be considered. Excellent customer facing skills, business development experience, leadership, audit and risk management knowledge are also required.

In return, you will enjoy the rewards of partnership with a financially sound firm experiencing considerable growth, supported by a team of experienced, specialist partners.
