About Us
We are a boutique, independently owned CPA firm with decades of history built exclusively around nonprofit organizations. This is not a generalist firm with an NFP practice. Every client we serve, every engagement we run, and every professional on our team is focused entirely on the nonprofit sector --- foundations, sports organizations, environmental organizations, journalism nonprofits, schools, and more causes that actually matter.
We are in active growth mode --- new managing leadership is in place, the client base is expanding, and we are hiring a Remote NFP Audit Senior to grow with us. This is a ground-floor opportunity with a clear and fast path to Manager and Partner for the right person.
The Opportunity
As an Audit Senior, you will support and lead nonprofit audit engagements from planning through issuance --- working directly alongside managing partners on a small, high-performing team. You will have real visibility, real responsibility, and genuine ownership of your work from day one.
What Makes This Firm Different
- No Billable Hours --- Ever --- We do not track them. Not against a reduced target. Not against a softer metric. You are measured on the quality of your work and your client relationships --- full stop. That is genuinely rare in public accounting at any firm size
- Busy Season That Stays Manageable --- Hours run 40--45 during busy season. Not 55. Not 60. Not "it depends." The firm is deliberate about protecting its people and it shows in how engagements are staffed and managed
- 100% NFP --- No Exceptions --- Every client is a nonprofit. You will work alongside people who chose this space intentionally and know it deeply --- not generalists who handle NFP work on the side
- Private Foundation Depth --- A significant portion of the client base is private foundations --- the most technically complex segment of the nonprofit sector. If this is your specialty, you are in the right room
- AI-Forward Environment --- The firm actively incorporates AI tools to handle prep and administrative tasks --- freeing up time for the advisory and relationship work that actually matters
- Semi-Annual Bonuses --- Up to 10--12% paid twice a year. Not an annual afterthought --- a structured part of how the firm rewards its people
- Boutique Size, Real Autonomy --- Small firm, close-knit team, no micromanagement. You will have genuine ownership of your work and your client relationships from day one
- Active Growth Mode --- New managing leadership is in place and the firm is expanding. The right person joining now has a real and fast path to Manager and Partner
- Little to No Travel Required --- The firm communicates with clients virtually. No road warrior expectations
- Independently Owned --- No PE --- Not entertaining acquisition conversations. The culture and client relationships here are protected
What You Will Do
- Support and lead NFP audit engagements across a wide range of nonprofit entity types --- from planning through issuance
- Serve as a key point of contact on active client engagements
- Prepare and review workpapers, financial statements, and audit reports for accuracy and compliance
- Support and develop staff accountants on active engagements
- Collaborate directly with managing partners on client engagements and firm growth initiatives
- Stay current on nonprofit accounting standards, GAAP, and evolving compliance requirements
- Contribute to firm-wide growth initiatives as the practice expands under new leadership

- CPA required or actively pursuing
- 3--5+ years of NFP audit experience --- this must be the majority of your background, not something you do occasionally
- Private foundation experience required --- this is the core of the role
