Jennifer Taylor

Senior Tax Manager

"Gareth made an introduction to Azets and I have just joined there as a tax partner. Gareth made the whole process so much easier for me and really focused on making sure it was the right cultural fit. Where he genuinely made a difference was in agreeing the role so I can do what really interests me but I am doing something which matches the firm's strategy. Working out that mutual benefit is a rare quality and it has worked so well."

Ritchie Tout

Tax Partner

“With limited brand profile in the UK market, it has been critical for us to partner with the right recruitment agency to ensure that potential candidates for our first tax hires meet our very specific brief and that our differentiated proposition is understood and clearly communicated. From our first interactions with Kieran and Jack from ONE HIRING, it was evident that they understood our talent needs and quickly began identifying and bringing high quality candidates to us for consideration. To date, they have supported us with a number of senior hires into our corporate tax team. We have established a strong working relationship with Kieran and Jack and we trust their ability to bring those high quality candidates to us and properly look after them throughout the whole hiring process. Consequently, they have become our primary recruitment partner for UK tax hires."

His recommendations were completely in tune with my interests and needs which was greatly appreciated. He was able to introduce opportunities that consistently aligned with my skill set that I would not have been able to find on my own. If you're looking for a change or are interested in hearing about what opportunities are out there, Gareth is your guy!"

FAQs

Here you’ll find the most important answers to your questions about working with a job search agency and jobs in audit.

What does an auditor do?

An auditor examines a company’s financial records to ensure accuracy, compliance with laws, and the effectiveness of internal controls. They analyze financial statements, identify potential areas of risk, and suggest improvements. Auditors may work internally within a company or externally, reviewing multiple clients as part of an accounting or consulting firm.

What qualifications are required to become an auditor?

Becoming an auditor involves a combination of education, professional qualifications, and sometimes specific work experience. Here are the typical steps and qualifications needed:

Educational Requirements:

  • Degree: A bachelor’s degree is often required, typically in accounting, finance, business, or a related field. While a degree isn’t always mandatory, it is highly advantageous and commonly expected by employers.
  • Graduate Programs: Some companies offer graduate training schemes that provide structured training and the opportunity to work while studying towards a professional qualification.

Professional Qualifications:

  • Chartered Accountant Qualification: To practice as an auditor in the UK, you generally need to qualify as a Chartered Accountant (CA) with one of the following recognized bodies:
    • Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW): Qualifying as an ICAEW Chartered Accountant (ACA) involves passing exams, completing a training contract, and obtaining relevant work experience.
    • Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA): ACCA qualification is another common route for auditors, requiring passing exams, professional experience, and an ethics module.
    • Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA): Though less common for auditors, CIMA can be useful, particularly for internal auditors focusing on management accounting.
  • Other Certifications: Specific roles may benefit from certifications like Certified Internal Auditor (CIA), particularly for internal auditors, or Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) for IT auditors.
Is being an auditor a stressful job?

Auditing can be stressful, especially during peak periods like financial year-ends or when working on tight deadlines. The job often involves significant attention to detail, complex problem-solving, and sometimes long hours. However, effective time management, a supportive work environment, and gaining experience can help manage stress levels – and you are rewarded with working in an exciting job with a high salary and great career opportunities.

Is being an auditor a well-paid job?

Yes, auditing can be a very well-paid profession, especially as you gain experience. Salaries for auditors can vary based on location, level of experience, and the specific type of auditing (e.g., internal, external). Senior roles like Audit Senior Manager, Audit Director, or top positions at most firms typically offer very competitive salaries and benefits.
