What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Auditor position at Distinct | North America?
This firm has built a strong reputation with nonprofit and middle market clients, but internally it still feels collaborative and approachable rather than overly corporate. Seniors here get strong client exposure early, regular interaction with leadership, and the chance to work across a broader mix of engagements instead of being siloed into one area.
The environment suits someone who enjoys being hands-on, wants variety in their workload, and values flexibility without losing the team aspect of public accounting.
The role offers hybrid working, flexible scheduling throughout the year, and reduced summer hours, alongside a clear focus on development and progression.

- Leading audit engagements from planning through completion
- Reviewing work prepared by junior staff and helping develop the team
- Reviewing financial statements, disclosures and supporting workpapers
- Working closely with clients throughout engagements
- Preparing compilations and reviews
- Supporting projects involving reconciliations, analysis and reporting
- Assisting with business tax work connected to client engagements
- Managing engagement timelines and budgets
The client work includes a meaningful amount of nonprofit exposure alongside privately owned businesses across a range of industries. Experience with nonprofit audits is important, and exposure to Single Audits or Yellowbook work would be beneficial.

- 3 years of public accounting audit experience
