Looking for an Audit Manager role where you still know your clients by name, but have the backing of a much bigger firm behind you? This one in Sittingbourne is worth a look.

ABOUT THE FIRM

My client is a well-established local practice that's part of a large UK and Ireland accountancy and business advisory group. Day to day it feels like a close-knit local office.
