Job description

Fully remote. No business development target. And a growing firm where there's actually room to progress.

Not a bad combination, is it?

I'm working with a specialist CPA firm that's expanding nationally, both through organic growth and acquisitions.

And here's why that matters if you're an Audit Manager.

They're specialists in community association audits.

Now, I appreciate that might not sound like the most exciting sentence you've read today.

But there's a rather good upside to working somewhere that knows exactly what it does.

The work is repeatable. The processes can be improved. Technology can actually make a difference.

And you can spend more time leading people and looking after clients, rather than constantly firefighting.

So, what makes this worth considering?

For starters, it's fully remote, provided you're based in Florida or Texas.

There's no business development target, so you're not expected to spend your evenings chasing new clients.

The firm is also investing heavily in automation, AI and better ways of working.

And because they're growing through acquisitions, there are opportunities for people who want to develop beyond their current position.

Not a promise that you'll be promoted by next Christmas. Just a business that's expanding and actively developing its next generation of leaders.

What about the actual job?

You'll have your own portfolio of clients, a team of Seniors and Staff to develop, and the autonomy to make sensible technical decisions.

You'll still be involved in the more interesting audit questions, but the real value you bring will be helping your team become better at what they do.

If you enjoy mentoring people and seeing a Senior grow into someone who can confidently run their own engagements, you'll probably like this environment.

Who would this suit?

An Audit Manager with an active CPA, at least 5 years of public accounting audit experience and a background supervising and reviewing the work of others.

Experience auditing community associations would be brilliant, but it's not essential.

If your background is in nonprofits, Single Audits, employee benefit plans or similar assurance work, they'd be interested in speaking with you too.

If you quite like public accounting but wouldn't mind doing it from home, without sales targets and with a bit more investment in the people and systems around you, this could be worth a conversation.

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.
