Your new company
An established and growing accountancy practice based in Swansea is looking to appoint an Audit Semi-Senior or Senior to join their expanding audit offering. With a newly refurbished office space, long-standing client relationships and a supportive team culture, this firm offers an excellent environment for progression and continued professional development.
You’ll be joining a close-knit team working under an experienced Audit Manager and Partner in an open-plan, modern office environment. The firm has seen steady growth over the last few years and continues to invest in its people and its services.


Your new role
As the Audit Semi-Senior/Senior, you’ll play a key role within a small but busy audit team, working across a varied portfolio that includes large commercial groups, subsidiaries, local businesses and some charity audits.
Your responsibilities will include:
*Supporting or leading onsite audits depending on experience
*Completing audit testing and working through audit files
*Preparing year-end accounts and assisting with management accounts
*Working across 13+ audit reports per year, including group structures up to £300m turnover
*Liaising directly with clients and supporting junior team members
*Using CCH, Mercia methodology and cloud-based accounting systems (Xero, Sage, QuickBooks)
This role suits someone currently studying ACCA/ACA with some exposure to audit files, up to individuals comfortable running an audit end-to-end.

What you’ll need to succeed
To be successful, you will ideally have:
*Experience in audit within practice (open to candidates from commercial or public sector audit backgrounds, e.g., Audit Wales or charity audit)
*A good understanding of audit testing and working through audit files
*Progression toward ACCA/ACA or recently AAT-qualified and looking to begin professional studies
*Strong communication skills and the ability to work in a small, collaborative team
*Willingness to support juniors and take ownership of assigned audit areas
*Experience with CCH and cloud accounting software (desirable but not essential)
The firm is particularly keen to meet candidates between good junior/semi-senior level through to strong seniors who want to build experience and progress.

What you’ll get in return
*Salary between £26,000-£32,000, depending on experience
*Fully funded ACCA/ACA study support via Kaplan
*Choice of weekly study day or 7 working days block leave before each exam
*25 days holiday + bank holidays, with the option to purchase additional leave
*Flexible one-off remote days when required (e.g., home appointments)
*Supportive audit team with clear progression pathway
*Exposure to large, complex audits rarely available in firms of this size
