We are looking for a qualified (or qualified by experience) accountant to join our central compliance team in a varied, internal role supporting quality, regulatory compliance and mergers and acquisitions (M&A) activity across the group.

• Contributing to written DD reports, identifying material risks and recommending practical remedial actions.


• Monitoring and following up pre-completion and post-acquisition compliance actions.


• Supporting anti-money laundering (AML) reviews, queries, policies, procedures and monitoring.


• Assisting with Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW) regulatory matters, submissions, applications and monitoring visits.


• Providing internal support to offices and staff on wider practice compliance matters, including engagement acceptance, letters of engagement, complaints, professional standards and internal policies.


• Identifying recurring issues and helping to develop practical guidance, training and improvements to group processes.

What We're Looking For



We're keen to hear from candidates who can demonstrate:

• ACA/ACCA/ICAS qualified or qualified by experience.


• Strong practical knowledge of United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (UK GAAP) and accounts file requirements.


• Good technical judgement and the ability to identify, assess and communicate significant issues.


• Strong written, organisational and interpersonal skills.


• A practical, proportionate and solutions-focused approach.


• The confidence to work constructively with partners, managers and staff across the group.


• The ability to manage multiple reviews, workstreams and follow-up actions.


• A willingness to travel to group offices and prospective acquisition targets as required.


• Strong communication and relationship-building skills

Most importantly, we're looking for someone who shares our values, enjoys working collaboratively and is passionate about delivering great results.
