Your new company
This well-established and forward-thinking accountancy practice is based in modern offices in Motherwell. With a strong reputation across Scotland and a growing portfolio of housing associations and charities, the firm is entering an exciting phase of expansion. Their culture is collaborative and people-focused, and they’re offering a rare opportunity for a senior professional to help shape the future of the practice.

Your new role
As Audit Director, you’ll play a key leadership role within the external team, overseeing a varied client base and contributing to strategic growth. You’ll be responsible for delivering high-quality audit services, mentoring the team, and driving operational excellence. The role will also include involvement in accounts and tax work, particularly in the early stages, offering a broad and engaging remit. Crucially, you’ll hold Responsible Individual (RI) status and be ready to take ownership of audit sign-off responsibilities, while helping to develop and refine the firm’s audit offering.

What you’ll need to succeed
You’ll be a qualified accountant (CA, ACCA or equivalent) with RI status and a strong background in audit within practice. You’ll bring a commercial mindset, excellent technical knowledge, and a genuine interest in developing people and processes. This is a leadership role, so the ability to inspire and influence others-both internally and externally-is key. If you’re looking for a role where you can make a real impact and help shape a growing firm, this could be the right move.

What you’ll get in return
This is a standout opportunity to join a progressive firm at a senior level, with the autonomy to help shape the direction of the practice. You’ll benefit from a competitive salary and benefits package, a modern working environment, and a clear pathway for further progression.
