About the Role
<p><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;font-size: 14pt">I am partnered with a Top 10 UK accountancy practice that is continuing to invest in and grow its Audit presence in Leeds. The firm is well known for its collaborative, people‑focused culture and works with a diverse client base across a wide range of sectors, from owner‑managed businesses to larger, more complex groups. As part of this growth, they are now seeking an experienced Audit Manager to join their regional audit team.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;font-size: 14pt">As an Audit Manager, you will take responsibility for a varied and balanced audit portfolio, offering exposure to clients across multiple industries rather than a single specialist sector. This role is well suited to someone confident working directly with clients, building long‑term relationships, and contributing to the wider commercial success of the practice. You will work closely with colleagues across audit and specialist teams, within an environment that actively supports development, progression, and internal mobility.</span></p>
