About this role
Sapro is hiring a Senior In-Charge External Auditor for a six-month international contract running November 2026 through April 2027, working with a global client on complex IFRS Group Audit engagements across Europe. The role is based remotely but requires several weeks of onsite work in Germany and Switzerland, making an EU passport non-negotiable. You'll lead audit teams through full engagement cycles, oversee fieldwork, manage budgets and timelines, and deliver high-quality audit files and financial statement disclosures while maintaining focus on accuracy and quality standards.
This opportunity is specifically designed for auditors with at least five years of external audit experience and a minimum two years leading audit teams end-to-end. A critical requirement is demonstrated cannabis industry audit experience—this is not negotiable. You'll need a fully qualified accounting designation (CA(SA), CA(Z), ACA, ACCA, or CPA), strong IFRS knowledge, and proficiency with CaseWare. German language skills are a bonus but not essential.
The role suits someone comfortable working independently in a fast-paced international environment, with strong communication and problem-solving abilities. You should be proactive, analytically sharp, and capable of educating and redirecting team members. Reliable high-speed internet (minimum 50 Mbps fibre connection) is required for remote work, and you must be available for the full contract period.
