Job description

At Avail CPA, we believe great work happens through collaboration. With over 90 years of experience and a growing team of 140+ professionals across Alberta and British Columbia, we help our clients and communities thrive through expert advice, genuine care, and innovative solutions.

We're currently seeking an Audit Supervisor to support our Lethbridge-based not-for-profit team. This role is ideal for a CPA (or someone in the final stages of completing their designation) with solid public practice audit experience and a passion for supporting organizations that make a real impact. You'll help lead assurance engagements, mentor developing team members, and work closely with not-for-profit clients while continuing to build your leadership and technical expertise.

If you're looking to grow your leadership skills while doing meaningful work that strengthens communities, we'd love to hear from you.

What You'll Do

As a key member of our team, you will:

Audit Supervision and Execution

• Assist with the planning and coordination of assurance engagements for not-for-profit clients.
• Oversee audit fieldwork while guiding team members through accurate, timely documentation.
• Review work prepared by team members and offer constructive feedback to uphold professional standards.
• Monitor engagement timelines and ensure alignment with Canadian Auditing Standards (CAS).
• Evaluate audit risks, identify potential concerns, and recommend opportunities for improvement.

Documentation and Reporting

• Prepare clear, accurate documentation including technical reports, correspondence, summaries, and presentations.
• Communicate results and recommendations in a way that builds understanding and trust.

Client Relationship Development

• Maintain strong communication with clients to understand their operations, challenges, and goals.
• Collaborate with clients to identify improvement opportunities and support their long-term success.
• Help not-for-profit organizations make the most of their resources so they can maximize their impact in the communities they serve.

Coaching and Mentorship

• Guide junior team members through ongoing coaching and contribute to their technical and professional development.
• Promote a collaborative, learning-focused environment within the team.

Continuous Learning and Innovation

• Stay current with Canadian accounting and auditing standards, particularly those relevant to not-for-profit and public sector entities.
• Contribute to the continuous improvement of audit processes and firm best practices.

A Day in the Life

On a typical day, you might plan for an upcoming audit, review audit sections prepared by junior team members, meet with a client to discuss audit requests and engagement progress, and wrap up by mentoring a team member preparing for their next professional milestone.

What We're Looking For

• A CPA designation or someone in the final stages of completing their CPA designation.
• 3 to 6 years of audit experience in public practice, preferably with not-for-profit or public sector clients.
• Demonstrated ability to manage competing priorities and deadlines while maintaining quality and attention to detail.
• Strong organizational, time management, and project coordination skills.
• Proficiency in CaseWare, Microsoft Office, and other audit-related software.
• Clear, professional communication skills, both written and verbal.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities that build client trust and deliver value.
• A genuine passion for supporting mission-driven organizations and creating positive community impact.

What We Offer

• Competitive salary aligned with experience and responsibilities
• Comprehensive benefits package (medical, dental, vision, and more)
• Flexible work environment that supports work-life balance
• A collaborative team culture where connection and transparency matter
• Professional development and learning opportunities tailored to your career goals
• The chance to do purposeful work with organizations that create lasting community impact
