Iconic Resourcing is delighted to partner with our friends at AAB to exclusively support them with the recruitment of Audit Managers/Senior Managers in Aberdeen. This is a fantastic time to join the tech enabled firm as they renew their commitment to deliver real value to clients. Iconic sat down with AAB’s Head of Audit James Pirrie where he offered the below commentary on the roles:
“There has never been a more exciting time to join AAB’s audit team. We secured an investment from August Equity in October 2021, and this has been used to accelerate our growth through investment in technology, pursuing merger and acquisition activity and bringing more talented individuals to our firm. Since the investment we have added offices in Leeds and Ireland to our Scottish offices in Aberdeen, Edinburgh, and Glasgow.
Our audit team will generate growth in revenue of over 20% in the year to March 2023. This growth is creating fantastic opportunities for our people to progress through the grades and take on new challenges. The growth also gives opportunities to bring new recruits into our audit team. At the moment we are looking to add Audit managers & Senior Managers to the team in Aberdeen & Glasgow. These roles give people the opportunity to work with clients of many different sizes and across a wide range of different sectors. There is also the opportunity for the right individuals to progress quickly through the grades in a supportive environment”.
