Internal Auditor | Financial Controls

Warrington | Hybrid 3 days in office

Salary depending on experience up to £60,000 + benefits

Are you an experienced Internal Auditor who enjoys looking beyond compliance and genuinely influencing how an organisation operates?

We're partnering with a purpose-led organisation undergoing continued investment and transformation, seeking a commercially minded Senior Internal Auditor to play a key role in strengthening financial controls, improving processes and supporting effective governance across the business.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join an organisation where audit is viewed as a valued business partner rather than a tick-box function. You'll have the opportunity to engage with senior stakeholders, challenge existing processes, identify meaningful improvements and help shape the future control environment.

The Opportunity

Working closely with the Senior Manager for Governance & Risk, you'll take ownership of end-to-end internal audit assignments, focusing primarily on financial controls and key business processes.

You'll have the autonomy to plan and deliver audits, communicate findings to senior stakeholders and influence positive change across the organisation.

Key areas of focus will include:

• Auditing core financial processes including payroll, revenue, procurement, cash and banking

• Assessing the design and effectiveness of financial controls

• Identifying control weaknesses, risks and opportunities for improvement

• Performing detailed testing and analysis to support evidence-based conclusions

• Producing high-quality audit reports with practical, commercially focused recommendations

• Building strong relationships with stakeholders across Finance and the wider business

• Monitoring agreed actions and supporting successful implementation

• Supporting governance reporting and Audit & Risk Committee activities

What We're Looking For

We're keen to speak with experienced Internal Auditors who enjoy working collaboratively and influencing change through insight and strong stakeholder engagement.

You'll bring:

• Significant experience within Internal Audit, Risk or Financial Controls

• Strong understanding of financial control frameworks and governance principles

• Experience auditing key financial processes such as payroll, revenue, procurement, cash and banking

• Excellent analytical and investigative skills

• The ability to communicate findings clearly and confidently to a range of stakeholders

• Strong report writing and presentation skills

• Experience engaging with senior leaders and building credibility across an organisation

A professional qualification such as ACA, ACCA, CIMA, CIA or equivalent would be advantageous.

Why Apply?

This is an opportunity to join an organisation where audit has visibility, influence and the ability to drive genuine business improvement. You'll work alongside an engaged leadership team, gain exposure to senior stakeholders and play a key role in helping shape a strong and effective control environment.

If you're looking for a role where your work will be valued, your recommendations acted upon and your career supported, we'd love to hear from you.
