Job description

Audit Manager | Fort Worth, TX | $125,000 to $150,000

Plenty of Audit Manager roles ask you to manage more without actually letting you grow into the role. This one's built the other way around.

A mid market public accounting firm in Fort Worth, TX, around 100 to 150 staff, is adding an experienced Audit Manager to the team. Enough scale to offer real client variety and a solid professional setup, but still small enough that Managers get genuine face time with leadership rather than a seat further down the org chart.

You'll work across a mix of commercial and nonprofit clients, which means broader experience than you'd typically pick up at a firm with a narrower audit focus. It's a good fit if you like leading engagements, working directly with clients, and developing junior staff, but want to do it somewhere that still feels personal rather than heavily layered.

Hybrid flexibility is part of the setup, giving you more control over your week while staying closely tied to the audit team and client relationships.

What they're looking for

• Solid audit experience at a CPA or public accounting firm, having managed engagements from planning through to completion
• Comfortable reviewing work, owning deadlines, talking directly with clients, and helping develop associates and seniors
• A mix of commercial and nonprofit client experience is particularly relevant
• CPA is highly valued, but overall fit and technical background matter just as much

Why it's worth considering

A move at Manager level should bring more than another portfolio and another busy season. This is a chance to work with a genuinely varied client base, take real ownership of engagements, and keep building your leadership skills without disappearing into a huge structure.

This role includes:

• $125,000 to $150,000
• A team of around 100 to 150 people
• A mix of commercial and nonprofit audit clients
• Real client exposure and engagement ownership
• The chance to mentor and develop junior staff
• A mid market setup with genuine visibility and access to leadership
