Internal Auditor - Morgan McKinley
Are you an ambitious auditor looking to step away from traditional external audit, or an internal auditor looking to elevate your career within a world-class professional services environment? I am currently partnering with a leading Big 4 practice in Belfast to recruit a Semi-Senior or Senior Internal Auditor for their expanding Governance, Risk & Internal Controls team. This team works with an exceptional client portfolio across Northern Ireland and the wider UK market-spanning public sector bodies, major local commercial mid-markets, and global brands.
Why Consider This Role?
- Better Work-Life Balance: Internal audit offers far more predictable hours and less seasonal "busy season" pressure than traditional external audit.
- Commercial Exposure: Move beyond financial statements to evaluate core business strategy, operational efficiency, IT controls, and ESG frameworks.
- Fast-Track Progression: Clear, transparent promotion pathways with a structured route to Assistant Manager and Manager grades.
- Modern Hybrid Working: Flexible mix of office, remote, and local client site work.
What You'll Be Doing
- Leading or supporting end-to-end internal audit engagements across diverse industries.
- Evaluating internal control frameworks (COSO, SOX, corporate governance).
- Mapping key business processes and executing risk-based fieldwork.
- Drafting high-impact, commercially focused audit reports for C-suite and Audit Committees.
- (At Senior Level) Mentoring, reviewing work, and guiding junior trainees on client engagements.
What We're Looking For
Semi-Senior Level: Part-qualified (ACA / ACCA / CIA) with 1-2+ years of audit or risk/controls experience in practice or industry. Full study support provided.
Senior Level: Newly qualified or experienced ACA / ACCA / CIA with 3+ years in internal audit, external audit, or risk advisory (ideally Top 10 or Big 4 background).
- Strong written communication and the confidence to hold constructive conversations with key stakeholders.
