At **Carras Studio**, we provide the clarity and confidence that Qatar’s leading businesses need to thrive.

We are seeking an **External Audit Senior** who is ready to step out of the shadows and take a leading role in shaping the financial integrity of our diverse portfolio.
As a Senior, you are the field general. You will lead engagement teams, navigate complex IFRS applications, and act as a trusted advisor to our clients, ensuring that every audit is a value\-add experience rather than just a compliance exercise.
**Your Mission**
* **Engagement Leadership:** Plan and execute a variety of external audit engagements for a diverse client base, including retail, real estate, and service\-based industries.
* **Field Management:** Supervise, coach, and mentor junior auditors, reviewing their work for accuracy, completeness, and compliance with International Standards on Auditing (ISA).
* **IFRS Expert:** Tackle complex accounting issues and ensure financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with IFRS and local Qatari laws.
* **Risk Assessment:** Identify and evaluate internal control weaknesses and financial risks, providing clients with robust management letters and actionable recommendations.
* **Client Liaison:** Act as the primary point of contact during fieldwork, managing client expectations and resolving technical queries with confidence.
* **Final Review:** Draft comprehensive financial statements, audit reports, and completion memorandums for Manager and Partner review.
**The Profile We’re Looking For**
* **Experience:** 4–6 years of experience in **External Audit**, preferably within a mid\-tier or Big 4 firm.
* **Education:** Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance.
* **Credentials:** Fully qualified **CPA, ACCA, CA, or ACA** is a must.
* **Technical Savvy:** Expert knowledge of ISA and IFRS. Proficiency in audit software (e.g., Caseware) and advanced Excel is essential.
* **Analytical Rigor:** You have a "skeptical" mindset and an eye for detail that never blinks.
* **Communication:** Exceptional written and verbal English skills; Arabic is a significant advantage for client interactions in Ar Rayyan.
* **Mobility:** Willingness to travel to client sites within the Qatar region.
**Why Carras Studio?**
* **Direct Impact:** Work in an environment where your voice is heard and your contributions are visible to the Partners from day one.
* **Competitive Tax\-Free Salary:** An attractive package designed for high\-performing professionals in the Qatari market.
* **Professional Growth:** We invest in your career, offering pathways to Managerial roles and support for continuous professional education.
* **Vibrant Culture:** Join a studio\-style firm that values innovation, work\-life balance, and a modern approach to professional services.
