Job description

Like the resources and backing of a larger firm, but don't want the politics, hours, or nonsense that can sometimes come with it?

You would be joining a nationally ranked advisory, tax and accounting firm with 550+ people, strong New England growth, and a proper not for profit practice. Big enough to have the resources, technology, brand and client base. Still human enough that people talk about work life balance without everyone quietly laughing into their coffee.

The firm is employee owned through an ESOP, privately funded, with no outside investors or private equity involved. So you are not walking into a place where the goal is to dress everything up for a sale in 18 months.

The role is focused on either not for profit audit clients or commericial audits depending on your experience. You would be joining at Partner level, helping grow the practice, lead client relationships, develop people, and shape what the New England audit offering looks like long term.

The client base is broad, with strong not for profit exposure alongside sectors like healthcare, construction, real estate, manufacturing, distribution, financial services and professional services.

The sell:

• Strong East Coast presence
• Employee owned ESOP
• No outside investors or private equity in the ESOP
• Busy season usually around 48 to 55 hours
• Summer Fridays, including 3pm finishes
• 23 days PTO
• Medical, dental and vision
• Life insurance contribution
• CPE and leadership development
• Dress For Your Day
• DEI Council, Women's Council and charitable initiatives
• Wellness support, including gym discounts and CALM app
• Genuine upward mobility and room to help build something

This would suit an audit leader who wants a stronger platform, better resources, and a clearer long term future, without moving into a firm where everyone is permanently exhausted and pretending it is character building.
