Job Description

What You’ll Do For JJCo

As an Audit Manager, you will lead engagements from planning through wrap-up, working side-by-side with partners as a hands-on, “working auditor.” You will:

• Plan, supervise, and complete multiple audit engagements for a diverse portfolio of not-for-profit clients—charitable organizations, foundations, and associations—while managing deadlines, budgets, and engagement profitability.
• Mentor and review the work of audit seniors and associates, fostering a culture of continuous learning and professional growth.
• Review and approve workpapers, financial statements, and audit reports to ensure accuracy, GAAS compliance, and adherence to not-for-profit accounting standards (FASB ASC 958).
• Stay ahead of regulatory changes affecting the nonprofit sector and advise clients on accounting issues, internal controls, and best practices throughout the year—not just during audit weeks.
• Develop lasting client relationships by serving as a trusted advisor and responsive resource long after fieldwork ends.
• Contribute to business development by preparing proposals, networking with industry peers, making public presentations, and recruiting new team members.
• Participate in firm initiatives such as training, recruiting, and diversity-and-inclusion efforts, helping shape the direction of the Audit Department and the firm overall.

You’ll also have the freedom to cultivate your professional network at conferences and continuing-education events alongside firm leaders. While there is a clear path to partner, there is no pressure to pursue that goal —you set your own trajectory.

What We Will Do For You

• Competitive compensation: This full-time Seattle-based role offers a salary range of $112,000 – $150,000, commensurate with experience .
• Professional growth every year: You’ll take part in firm-sponsored training, mentoring, and industry conferences, keeping your technical skills and leadership toolkit sharp.
• A voice at the table: Beyond client work, you’ll help shape firm initiatives—training programs, recruiting, and diversity-and-inclusion efforts—so your ideas directly influence how we operate and serve the nonprofit community.
• Choose your trajectory: There is a clear route to partner, but no pressure to pursue it ; we support the career path that fits your goals.
