Full Job Description

Your work will be varied and you will be exposed to lots of different areas of the audit process including:

  • Planning audit assignments, identifying key risks, assessing how to test them, assessing and reviewing the budgets through to completing an analytical review.

  • Leading audit engagements, supervising, delegating, and monitoring the work of trainees and ensuring work is ready for manager review.

  • Work with other departments to ensure a seamless service is provided to clients.

  • Delivering information to clients in a timely manner whilst displaying in-depth client and industry knowledge.

  • Identifying cross-selling opportunities.

  • Communicating to management on the progress of workload and planning for efficient completion.

    We are looking for someone who is authentic in every situation and likes to be connected to their team, clients and local communities.

  • You like to listen and understand, to show up every day with passion and to stand up for things that matter to you.

  • You are driven to succeed, take initiative and want results.


  • As well as the above you will be ACA/ACCA nearly or fully qualified and have experience of planning and completing audits, as well as using an analytical review process and having experience of delegating and reviewing work of trainees within the team.

    It starts with you!

    Some people think being an accountant is all about numbers. Here at Haines Watts we don't! We believe it's all about our people and the relationships they forge as well as the specialist insight that they might build over time. We've been around for 90 years, so we must know a thing or two.

    Our clients come from all walks of life. They have different backgrounds, experiences, talents, skills and goals. Just like our people.

    So, we have a question for you: are you looking for a job that's just about the numbers? Or do you want a career which leans into who you are as a person. You will build a common foundation with your colleagues whilst progressing from Trainee to Manager, but from there, with our in-house programmes to help you, we actively encourage you to discover who you are as a person.

    Is your preference to become a foremost authority in an accountancy specialism or someone who is energised by relationships with clients and teams? We value either career path equally, but we know that you will value one more than the other and we will support you on that journey of discovery.
