Audit Manager - Northamptonshire c£45K - £50K

This is not offering visa sponsorship, so please bear that in mind when applying, to avoid disappointment.

We’re supporting a long-established, well-respected independent firm of accountants in Northampton as they look to appoint an experienced Client Manager with a strong general practice background and audit exposure.

If you enjoy a mix of accounts, audit, and client advisory work and you like the idea of managing your own varied portfolio, this is a great opportunity to step into a role with real autonomy and visibility.

You’ll take responsibility for a mixed portfolio of SME clients, anything from groups of companies through to sole traders and owner-managed businesses. Day to day, you’ll be involved in:

• Overseeing and reviewing accounts, audits, and tax work across your portfolio
• Managing and developing junior team members
• Leading client meetings and advising on a range of audit, accounting and business matters
• Working closely with the Directors on planning, workflow, and service delivery
• Supporting audits where required (audit experience is a key advantage)

This role is ideal either for a Senior ready to step into a fuller management position, or an existing Manager who wants a fresh, supportive environment.

• ACA or ACCA qualified
• Strong all-round background from a UK accountancy practice
• Audit experience as part of your career to date (essential for this role)
• Comfortable managing your own portfolio and client relationships
• Enjoy supporting, supervising, and developing junior staff

• Flexible working arrangements
• Annual bonus
• Regular pay reviews
• Ongoing internal & external training
• Supportive, people-focused culture
• On-site parking
• Established firm with a strong local reputation

This is a great move for someone who wants progression, trust, and the freedom to shape their own client relationships.
