This is an excellent opportunity for an ambitious Audit Semi Senior to join a Top 20 firm that offers something a little different. You'll work with an impressive and varied client portfolio, gain hands on responsibility from an early stage, and play a meaningful role within an established audit team.

Despite being a large, well-respected firm, the culture is far more personal than you might expect. Rather than feeling like another number, you'll work closely with experienced managers and partners, receive full study support towards qualification, and be trusted with the sort of responsibility that is often difficult to find in firms of this size. Career progression is clearly defined, with a highly competitive salary throughout your training and one of the strongest newly qualified packages in the region, offering London level salaries without the London commute.
