Full job descriptionGPN Recruitment are delighted to be partnering with a well-established 5+ Partner Central London accountancy firm who are seeking an Audit Senior to join their growing team.


If you favour work/life balance and would like a role that following probation requires only 2 days in the office, then keep on reading.


Whilst this is a heavy audit role, this is a varied position offering exposure across audit, statutory accounts, corporation tax, bookkeeping and VAT.

The position would suit a newly qualified ACA/ACCA accountant or a strong finalist seeking broader experience and genuine long-term progression.
