Audit and Assurance jobs and advice
The assurance (audit and advisory) division within a practice firm offers perhaps the greatest variety of work of all the specialist disciplines.
The type of jobs available will depend on the size of firm. The larger firms will often be working on a range of blue chip listed clients adopting a risk based approach, while the smaller firms will concentrate on owner-managed businesses.
The approach adopted by these divisions ensures you develop a complete understanding of your client's business. Understanding the key factors not only allows for an effective and 'added value' audit process, but also gives scope to provide a whole range of other services.
Specialist areas
Specialist work including corporate finance work, particularly due diligence, risk management or just general advisory of performance improvement are all services carried out within these divisions. Career progression can be rapid and highly structured with a major focus given to in-house training courses and continued professional development.
Demand high
Demand for good candidates is strong among the professional services firms and vacancies currently exist in 'Big 4', middle tier and small accountancy firms for candidates at Part Qualified through to Senior Manager/Partner levels.
