We're a growing public accounting firm looking for an Audit Senior who's ready to do meaningful work, grow into a leader, and actually enjoy the ride. If you've spent a few busy seasons wondering whether "reasonable hours" and "public accounting" can exist in the same sentence — we built our firm to prove they can.
About the work
You'll work with a wide variety of small and mid-sized businesses across industries, which means no two engagements look the same and you're never pigeonholed into a single niche. One week you might be leading fieldwork for a manufacturer, the next a nonprofit or a family-owned services company. You'll own engagements from planning through wrap-up, supervise and mentor associates, and be a trusted point of contact for clients who genuinely value your advice.
What you'll do
You'll plan and execute audit, review, and compilation engagements; identify and resolve technical issues; review staff workpapers and coach the people doing them; manage timelines and budgets; and build real relationships with business owners who lean on you for more than a signed opinion. As you grow, you'll take on more responsibility for running engagements independently — this is a role designed to develop the firm's future managers and partners.
What we're looking for
We're looking for two to four years of public accounting audit experience, a bachelor's degree in accounting or a related field, and strong technical grounding in U.S. GAAP and GAAS. A CPA — or active progress toward it — is preferred but not required; if you're on the path, we'll support you the rest of the way. Just as important: you're organized, curious, a clear communicator, and someone who takes ownership without being asked.
Why you'll want to be here
We're a hybrid firm — three days in the office, two from home — with real flexibility built into how we operate. Busy season here means focused, reasonable hours, not months of your life you never get back. We invest heavily in our people because we're building the next generation of firm leadership from within, and we'd rather promote you than replace you. Expect strong benefits, a clear and fast track for advancement, and colleagues who actually want to see you succeed.
If you're a strong auditor who's tired of being treated like a timesheet, let's talk.
