Jake Stanley

Manager

I’m Jake and I’m an Internal Audit Manager within the Risk, Assurance, and Advisory (RAA) team. I’ve recently returned to the firm following a few years spent in public sector internal audit. I’m looking forward to bringing a wealth of experience and sector insights to our clients in not-for-profit organisations which includes, charities, multi academy trusts and housing providers.

My story
I first joined the firm back in 2015 as an Internal Auditor and worked my way up to Assistant Manager over five years, working with clients across the not-for-profit sectors to deliver a broad range of audits, from statutory health and safety and property development to business plan stress testing and risk management.

During a brief stint away from the firm, I worked in internal audit roles across the public sector – including NHS, the police, ‘blue light’ services, and local government – and have advised commercial organisations, including construction, manufacturing, and energy and utilities, on their internal audit plans. I rejoined Beevers in 2025 with a focus to sharing good practice, wherever we find it, to help our clients with continuous improvement and building on their existing processes.

I do this too…
I’m a very keen hiker, and I try to get away once a year for something slightly more ambitious – the Highlands, Wales, Austria, and Slovenia in recent years! I’m currently a School Governor for a secondary school in Greater Manchester, which helps me keep on top of any changes or emerging issues in the education sector.
