Audit Manager

    Working as an audit manager in a small firm (7/8 staff). Spend the majority of the time in the office (85-90%) with only 10-15% being client site visits for audits (most done from here).

    If I was considering a move into a medium sized practice (non big 4) should I expect the same? Or would there be a lot more time travelling and trips down the country?

    (Have a young family - twins under 2- hence the question)

    Also I've worked in same place since training (11 years now in total - 4 years training). Do people consider that unhealthy?

    If I wait much longer to move could I become unemployable due to no other experience?

    I wouldn't move until I had another job lined up. Are you happy in your current job and role? Or do you feel like you are stuck in a rut or have reached your full potential in your current position?


    Also from an audit point of view - watch out for objectivity, independence and the threat of familiarity if you are with the practice a good while - although that is the practice's concern moreso than yours.

    Will definitely move from one job to another - just at crossroads and considering my options - stay a year or two (decent salary €50k, can get time off handy, no extreme hours 8.30 - 5.30/6, and get over worst of having young family).

    It's that versus worrying about being in one place too long and not challenging myself.

    Feel a bit stuck in a rut and not learning at rate I use to (few new things a year but nothing major) but perhaps that's normal once you hit a certain level.

    Don't sign off on audits - partners do, so not an issue currently.
