Audit Director – Birmingham

Birmingham, West Midlands

Hybrid Working

Competitive Salary + Partnership Pathway

We are recruiting an Audit Director for a highly respected and growing accountancy and business advisory firm based in Birmingham. This is an outstanding opportunity for an experienced audit professional to take on a senior leadership role within a progressive firm while playing a key part in the continued growth and development of its audit offering.

This role is ideal for an existing Audit Director or Responsible Individual (RI), or an ambitious Associate Director or Senior Manager looking for a clear and supported pathway towards RI status and future Partnership.

The Role

As an Audit Director, you will work closely with Partners and senior leadership to lead client engagements, develop client relationships, and contribute to the strategic growth of the audit function.

You will oversee a diverse portfolio of clients, ranging from owner-managed businesses to larger corporate groups, ensuring audit assignments are delivered to the highest technical and professional standards. Acting as a trusted adviser, you will lead client meetings, manage key stakeholder relationships, and provide commercial insight to support client objectives.

You will take responsibility for leading audit teams on complex engagements, supporting audit quality and compliance standards, and driving continuous improvement across the department. For individuals already holding RI status, there will be the opportunity to take responsibility for an existing portfolio, while those working towards RI will receive structured support and development.

The role will also involve supporting business development initiatives, networking activities, and identifying opportunities to win new work. You will work closely with Partners and colleagues across the wider business to strengthen client relationships and contribute to the continued growth of the firm.

Alongside client responsibilities, you will play an important role in mentoring and developing team members, helping to build future leaders and maintain a collaborative, high-performing culture.

This position offers a genuine route to Partnership and the opportunity to influence the future direction of a growing audit practice.

About You

You will be ACA or ACCA qualified, with significant audit experience gained within a UK accountancy practice environment.

You may already hold Responsible Individual status, or you will be able to demonstrate the experience, technical capability, and ambition required to achieve RI status in the near future.

You will have experience managing complex audit assignments, developing client relationships, and leading teams. Strong technical knowledge, commercial awareness, and a proactive approach to business development are essential.

Excellent communication and leadership skills are key, alongside the ability to build trusted relationships with clients, colleagues, and stakeholders. Previous experience mentoring and developing team members would also be highly advantageous.

You will be ambitious, commercially minded, and motivated by the opportunity to play a significant role in the growth and success of a progressive professional services firm.
