This brand new Audit Assistant role will encompass both Audit and Accounts preparation giving your a varied work load and opportunity to progress throughout the firm. With a wide range of clients and sectors, this role will be a brilliant next step for anyone who is wanting to get hands on experience working with complex accounts.
