Chartered Accountant (Overseas Assignment)

We are hiring an auditor on a contractual basis to design and deliver an audit training

program for a cohort of graduates majoring in accounting or finance. The role is based

overseas: three months on site, full time, followed by three months of part-time remote

support. This is a role for someone who has run statutory audits and can teach what they

know, not for someone who intends to learn it from the material.

Your Challenge

• Design the curriculum, delivery schedule and assessment approach. The cohort

enters at a known and consistent academic standard, so the programme is built to

take them from theory to practice rather than to establish where they are starting

from.

• Build all training materials, including slides, exercises, worked examples, real-life

case studies and practice data sets, so participants get practical, hands-on

experience rather than theory alone.

• Deliver the programme in person over three months, covering the reporting

framework, transaction cycles, measurement and judgement, the period-end close,

financial statement preparation, internal control and ethics.

• Run hands-on Zoho Books labs alongside the classroom modules so participants

learn the accounting question and the system action together.

• Supervise participants through at least one full period-end close on live or realistic

records.

• Design and run a mock audit, review the audit files participants produce, and hold

closing meetings on the findings.

• Assess each participant individually and report on the capability attained and the

gaps remaining.

• Provide three months of remote support after the on-site phase at 16 hours per week,

covering planned support sessions, query resolution and month-end close support.

• Work jointly with a second Chartered Accountant, and coordinate with a senior

SELISE finance executive who delivers a two-week module inside the programme.

Your Qualifications

• Full member in good standing of ICAB, ICAI, ICAEW, ACCA or another IFAC

member body. Part-qualified candidates and finalists awaiting admission are not

eligible.

• Minimum 3 years' post-qualification experience, of which at least 2 years in statutory

external audit in professional practice.

• At least 10 statutory audits personally taken from planning to completion, including 5

where you were the senior person on site.

• Internal audit, audit support or offshore delivery centre work, tax work performed

within an audit firm, and your articleship or training contract do not count towards the

audit requirement.

• Audit experience under International Financial Reporting Standards.

• Experience delivering structured training to groups of ten or more, ideally to

graduates or staff early in their careers, and designing that content yourself rather

than delivering someone else's.

• Hands-on audit competence in Zoho Books or a comparable cloud accounting

platform such as QuickBooks Online, Xero or NetSuite.

• Able and willing to live overseas for three continuous months on a fixed schedule that

cannot be moved. Passport valid for at least 12 months from the start date and

eligible for a work permit.

What You Can Expect

• A competitive fee for the engagement.

• Flights, accommodation, meals and full board provided by SELISE for the entire on-site period.

• Travel, work permit and visa costs are covered.

• A program you design yourself, rather than a syllabus handed to you to read out.

• Work that leaves something behind: a cohort able to run a finance function, and a

curriculum that outlasts the engagement
