We currently have an exciting career opportunity for an Assurance Senior Associate to join our Financial Services team in our Hartford office for remote and in office roles.

YOUR TEAM

As part of the Financial Sponsors & Financial Services team, you'll work with some of the nation's leading private equity, venture capital, hedge, real estate, cannabis, private credit, and other alternative investment funds.

As a result of the unique organizational structure of most private investment funds, you'll collaborate with other CohnReznick industry and service line team members to deliver outstanding technical and client service.

Located in almost every financial center across the United States-New York, Connecticut, California, Chicago, Boston, Dallas, Denver, Miami, and more--our clients deploy billions of dollars of capital and expect situation‑tested expertise, industry knowledge, access to market intelligence and timely response to questions and requests.
