  Smith & Williamson is one of the ten largest accountancy firms in the UK, with 1,500 employees across its 13 UK offices. As Audit Senior I was responsible for delivering a statutory audit, principally as the lead member of a team of 2-5 individuals. This primarily involved completing a series of procedures at a client’s premises, working closely with both my client’s senior management teams and my managers and partners. After qualifying as an ACA I was seconded to the Learning and Development department, a role I fulfilled in addition to my position as Audit Senior. Show less
