The opportunity you've been waiting for
This Audit role in Glasgow puts real opportunities in your hands. You'll be the client's main point of contact on site during fieldwork, manage work delegated to junior team members, and take a key role across planning, fieldwork, and completion.

- Take on more complex audit areas during fieldwork, escalating queries to senior colleagues where you need support.
- Prepare for and contribute to planning and clearance meetings, answering queries from the team and the client directly.
- Review draft accounts, issue them to the client, and work through any queries that come back, with guidance.
- Act as the client's main point of contact on site during fieldwork, spotting where AAB's other service lines could add value.

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 with its own technical complexity. This role exists to bring a newly qualified auditor into that client base early, with real client contact and a team relying on you.
Denholm's take
This is a stronger first step than most newly qualified roles offer. The client-facing responsibility, the junior team members managing into you, and the exposure to fee and WIP decisions all point to a firm that trusts people early. If that's the kind of start you're looking for, let's have a confidential conversation.
