About Audit

Companies with a turnover of up to £20million per annum tend to form the majority of the client base. Our client base is diverse, providing the opportunity to learn about different types of organisations from varying industry sectors.
Aside from the statutory audit of the financial statements of companies, the department handles specialist work such as the audits of pension schemes, charities and grants claims, as well as bespoke work such as due diligence and other transaction-related projects.

You will benefit from on the job training from more senior members of the team, as well as joining peers on internal training courses that will develop you as an individual.

These teams provide services to all shapes and sizes of business, from the ‘one man band’ entrepreneur to the large multinational corporate.
