Job description

Join a nationally recognized advisory firm where credibility is the point. Han Group serves sophisticated nonprofit organizations nationwide, including universities, industry associations, major charities, and private foundations. For more than 17 years, Han Group has partnered with 500+ nonprofits, providing the assured financial credibility required by organizations operating under heightened responsibility, scrutiny, and public trust.

Nonprofit tax, audit, advisory, and fiscal management are uniquely complex. That complexity is why Han Group exists. While many firms apply their expertise across a broad range of industries, Han Group has made a deliberate choice to serve nonprofits exclusively. This purposeful focus allows our team to attend to nuances others may miss, anticipate challenges before they arise, and deliver services intentionally designed for mission-driven organizations.

What sets Han Group apart is our empathetic, connective approach to problem-solving. We translate complex financial concepts into clear, actionable insight and build trust by understanding both the work and the people behind it. We believe excellence does not require arrogance and that sophistication can coexist with genuine warmth.

Position Summary

Join Han Group’s Audit and Assurance team. Audit is foundational to the financial credibility Han Group provides. Our nonprofit clients rely on audited financial statements to meet regulatory requirements, maintain public trust, and demonstrate responsible stewardship to boards, donors, grantors, and other stakeholders. Han Group’s audit work is grounded in technical rigor, independence, and a deep understanding of nonprofit operations. We approach audits not as a checklist exercise, but as a disciplined process that reinforces transparency, accountability, and confidence in financial reporting.

The Audit Partner leads high-level nonprofit audit engagements while driving firm growth through trusted client relationships and exceptional service delivery. This role oversees complex assurance engagements, exercises professional judgment on significant accounting and regulatory matters, and serves as a senior advisor to nonprofit executives and boards. Audit Partners are responsible for the quality, integrity, and impact of the audit engagements they lead and for strengthening long-term client relationships that support the firm’s continued growth.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and oversee complex nonprofit financial statement audits in accordance with GAAP, Uniform Guidance, and applicable auditing standards.
• Serve as the senior relationship lead for assigned clients, advising executive leadership and boards on audit results, financial reporting, and governance matters.
• Review and approve audit plans, significant risk assessments, and final deliverables to ensure technical accuracy and adherence to firm quality standards.
• Apply professional judgment to resolve complex accounting, auditing, and regulatory issues affecting nonprofit organizations.
• Oversee engagement teams by providing direction, mentorship, and guidance to Audit Managers, Seniors, and staff.
• Maintain accountability for audit quality, engagement outcomes, and client satisfaction across assigned engagements.
• Stay current on nonprofit accounting, auditing, and regulatory developments and ensure engagement approaches reflect current standards.
• Contribute to firm growth by supporting client retention, relationship expansion, and participation in Requests for Proposals.
• Collaborate with firm leadership on client engagement strategy and long-term relationship development.
• Represent Han Group with professionalism and credibility in client and professional settings.

Required Qualifications

• Active CPA license
• Extensive public accounting experience with a strong focus on nonprofit audits
• Advanced knowledge of GAAP, Uniform Guidance, and nonprofit financial reporting requirements
• Proven ability to lead complex audit engagements and serve as a trusted advisor to senior nonprofit leadership
• Strong leadership, communication, and relationship management skills
• Experience supporting business development and client relationship growth
• Commitment to audit quality, professional integrity, and responsible financial stewardship
