Audit Manager and Senior Manager
Overview
Job Description
We're expanding our Technology & High Growth team based in London. And we're looking for a standout Audit Manager and an ambitious Senior Audit Manager to be part of our growth in this exciting sector. The team is led by Steve Leith, who joined Cooper Parry this year from Grant Thornton's Fast Growth team to drive our strategy in this space. We're killing it.... We're one of the fastest growing accountancy firms in the UK. We've been picking up plenty of awards. And we're hungry for more. We were voted the 8th Best Company to Work For in the UK by The Sunday Times. We've won Audit Team of the Year at The British Accountancy Awards. And we were voted Best Place to Work in Europe at the European Engagement Awards. Why? Because we're smashing every accountancy stereotype to smithereens. We're making our own rules. And we're putting our people, their happiness and our culture at the heart of everything we do. We're challenging grey... We're challenging boring. We're tearing down the status quo. We're finding and retaining individuals who have an appetite for growth and disruption to match that found in the startups and scale-ups in the technology community. We do that whilst maintaining the quality and agility of advice high growth companies need. Our people engagement scores are through the roof - and our people are fully engaged in everything we do - from how we embrace technology and workplace design, to how we create innovative and flexible working patterns that have a positive impact on the service our clients receive and our peoples' lives. Our culture is who we are and it shapes our strategy and the experience for our clients. If you're looking to combine a career in practice with an unrivalled culture and an unmissable personal growth opportunity, we should talk. We're building a truly modern workplace culture... We've always believed in trusting our people to make the right decisions for themselves. From how you dress (our only rule is 'wear something') to when you work (we have no 'core hours') and how often you holiday (we have unlimited holiday). Recently, we've just introduced another game-changer, which we call 'Work From Anywhere. Forever' (WFAF) - built on freedom, trust and choice. Play to your strengths, we say. Create a role you're truly passionate about. Then, work flexibly to design a life that's right for you. Tired of the draining experience in your current audit firm? It's different here. Read our culture book for yourself #makelifecount About the role...

You will be ACA/ACCA qualified with previous experience of working at a managerial level within an Audit team. You must have demonstrable experience of managing a portfolio of clients and be committed to providing exceptional client service whilst building excellent relationships. You will be passionate about supporting businesses on their own growth journey in the tech and high growth sector and will be well versed at conversations that go beyond audit. Business development is a core part of the role of each member in the team - working together to develop the firm's presence in the market. As a team we operate in a highly flexible but well-connected structure, built around core objectives and deliverables, with the choice, freedom, and trust to work how you want to work. We expect an "all in" attitude to building the business - driven by a passion and desire to be recognised as the best firm in the fast growth technology sector. And the best company to work for in the UK (we don't think small). What you'll need...
