Job description

Most Director of Audit jobs involve inheriting somebody else's system and being asked to keep it running.

This one involves building a better one.

You'll take leadership of the audit function for a CPA firm that's growing nationally, both organically and through acquisition.

You'll be the final sign off authority across the audit practice. You'll lead the Managers, Seniors and Staff. And you'll have the freedom to shape how audit quality, workflows and technology should work as the firm gets bigger.

There's no expectation that you arrive with a little black book and start selling either.

Your job is to make the audit practice excellent.

That means owning quality control and peer review readiness, developing the team, improving turnaround times and integrating acquired firms into 1 consistent audit methodology.

You'll also work directly with the firm's development and operations teams to bring more AI and automation into the audit process.

So this isn't a Director title attached to a glorified review role.

It's an opportunity to put your fingerprints on how a growing national audit practice operates.

You'll need to be an active CPA and have already operated around Senior Audit Manager or Director level. Crucially, you should have personally held final engagement sign off or EQR authority and have experience leading people and owning audit quality processes.

Compensation includes a competitive base and bonus, alongside 401(k) match, medical, dental and vision coverage, PTO, paid holidays and your CPA fees, CPE and professional dues covered.

If you've spent the last few years thinking “I know how I'd run this if somebody actually gave me the chance”, this might be that chance.

Here’s the part most people get wrong: you don’t need to tick every box to introduce yourself. The apply button is not legally binding. Worst case? We chat, decide the timing isn’t right, and you carry on. Best case? You bag yourself a fantastic new position.
