A bit more about this company
This is a professional services firm with more than 1,000 people across the UK, Ireland, and the USA. Audit sits alongside tax, corporate finance, payroll, people consultancy, and wealth management, giving clients one firm for issues that cross more than one specialism.
Their mid-market focus shapes the audit client base: family businesses, owner-managed companies, and organisations scaling fast, each bringing its own technical complexity. This role exists to give that portfolio the management and the development it needs to keep growing.
Denholm's take
This is a portfolio role with genuine ownership attached to it. Their mid-market focus means the audit work itself has more variety than you'd find chasing only the largest accounts, and the coaching responsibility built into the role signals real trust from day one. If that combination interests you, let's have a confidential conversation.
