Internal Audit Manager

We are working with a leading UK accounting firm to recruit an Internal Audit Manager for their London office. In this role, you’ll lead the internal audit function, working closely with senior leadership to assess, improve, and embed robust controls across the business. This is a unique opportunity to take ownership of the audit framework, as the firm’s first dedicated internal auditor, with plans to grow the team in the near future.

The firm is seeking an experienced audit professional with a background in professional services (accounting, legal, or consulting), at least four years’ experience at manager level, and a track record of delivering end-to-end audits in complex, unstructured environments.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Leading the full internal audit process, with autonomy to shape audit plans
• Conducting audits across key areas including AML compliance, ISO 9001, supplier due diligence and business development processes
• Providing actionable recommendations to senior stakeholders and ensuring implementation across the business
• Advising the firm on regulatory compliance, quality systems, and internal controls
• Building strong relationships with partners and senior leaders, presenting audit findings with confidence and clarity

Candidates should bring strong communication and stakeholder management skills, exceptional attention to detail, and the ability to influence at senior levels. A solid understanding of AML regulations, payment controls, supplier due diligence, and ISO 9001 is essential.

This is a rare opportunity to shape an internal audit function from the ground up and make a lasting impact within a dynamic, growing firm. If you’re an experienced internal audit manager looking for a high-profile, autonomous role, we’d love to hear from you. Apply today to find out more.
