About Audit

We provide another alternative to university which allows you to develop a professional career and gain valuable hands on experience whilst studying for accountancy qualifications. We have vacancies within our Audit teams nationally.
Companies with a turnover of up to £20million per annum tend to form the majority of the client base. Our client base is diverse, providing the opportunity to learn about different types of organisations from varying industry sectors.
Aside from the statutory audit of the financial statements of companies, the department handles specialist work such as the audits of pension schemes, charities and grants claims as well as bespoke work such as due diligence and other transaction-related projects.
