Role Overview

As a Semi‑Senior Auditor within an SME-focused audit practice, you'll support audit engagements for small and medium-sized enterprises. You'll assist in planning, executing audits, preparing financial statements, mentoring junior staff, and interacting with clients—all while applying SME‑specific accounting and audit standards.

Key Responsibilities

Audit Planning & Fieldwork

  • Support senior staff in planning SME audit engagements, including risk assessment, scoping, and staffing.
  • Carry out substantive testing on account balances and transactions.
  • Assess internal control systems and note control weaknesses commonly seen in SME operations.
  • Maintain clear and organized audit workpapers supporting key conclusions.

Financial Statements & Reporting

  • Help draft financial statements using SME-appropriate frameworks (e.g. FRS, GASPME, IFRS for SMEs).
  • Draft management letters and communicate audit findings in a practical, client-friendly way.
  • Ensure audit deliverables comply with quality, regulatory, and firm standards.

Training & Team Support

  • Supervise and review junior auditors, offering constructive feedback.
  • Deliver on-the-job training in audit methodology, documentation, and SME‑adapted procedures.

Client Engagement

  • Serve as a contact for clients during audit engagements—request documents, clarify items, collect necessary files.
  • Explain audit steps and findings clearly in client-friendly language.
  • Suggest improvements for internal control and accounting processes based on audit observations.

Practice Development & Administration

  • Contribute to proposals and client tender responses tailored to SME audits.
  • Collaborate to refine audit templates, methodologies, and tools aimed at SME engagements.
  • Track time effectively across multiple SME audits and manage administrative responsibilities.

Qualifications & Skills

  • Part‑qualified (e.g. ACA, ACCA, CPA), with approximately 2+ years of audit experience—within SME or mid-tier practice environments.
  • Experience working in SME-specific accounting standards (FRS, GASPME, IFRS for SMEs) and auditing standards (ISA/IAASB, GAAS) is ESSENTIAL.
  • Proficiency with audit tools like CaseWare or IDEA, and strong MS Office skills.
  • Effective written and verbal communication—able to liaise confidently with clients.
  • Excellent organisational and time‑management skills to juggle multiple engagements.
  • Supervisory aptitude and coaching mindset when guiding junior colleagues.
