- Draft audit deliverables such as management letters, audit reports, findings and recommendations
- Contribute to continuous improvement of audit methodology, data-driven audit tools and automation
Leadership & coaching
- Supervise, coach and develop junior team members (on-the-job learning, constructive feedback, knowledge sharing)
- Review the work performed by team members and provide clear improvement guidance
- Foster a collaborative, inclusive team atmosphere
Client relationship and communication
- Serve as a key point of contact for day-to-day client communication
- Build trust-based relationships with client finance teams, administrators, service providers, and internal stakeholders
- Proactively identify client needs and potential advisory opportunities
Project management & quality control
- Manage engagement timelines, priorities, workloads and resources
- Escalate issues effectively and propose pragmatic solutions
- Contribute to audit efficiency, digitalization and continuous improvement initiatives
What we look for
- Minimum 2+ years of experience in external audit, ideally in financial services or asset management
- Solid knowledge of audit processes, risk assessment and financial reporting principles
- Experience with IFRS and/or Luxembourg GAAP (knowledge of consolidation and valuation methodologies is an asset)
- Professional qualification completed or in progress (ACCA, CPA, Wirtschaftsprüfer, Réviseur d’Entreprises, etc.)
- Ability to lead, delegate and coach while ensuring accuracy and quality
- Fluent in German and English; French considered a strong advantage
