Job description

We are looking for an Audit Senior to join our mid-sized CPA firm in Norwalk, CT. We are adding to a team that deliberately rejects the burnout culture of big public accounting - offering direct partner access, genuine mentorship, and a clearly lit path to Audit Manager.

What You'll Do

• Engagement Leadership: Lead, plan, and execute financial statement audits, reviews, and compilations from start to finish for private companies and select nonprofit organizations.
• Fieldwork Management: Perform testing, document internal controls, identify accounting issues, and manage the daily flow of audit fieldwork directly at client sites or in-office.
• Financial Reporting: Draft GAAP-compliant financial statements, disclosures, and management letter comments for partner review.
• Team Leadership: Mentor, train, and review the work product of junior associates and interns, raising team quality and confidence.
• Client Engagement: Serve as a primary client contact during fieldwork: field day-to-day questions, gather audit evidence, and translate complex accounting issues into plain language.
• Workflow Optimization: Identify opportunities to streamline audit procedures, improve testing efficiencies, and flag internal control gaps to leadership.

What You Need

• Experience: 3+ years of progressive financial audit experience inside a public accounting firm.
• Diverse Skillset: Hands-on experience executing private company audits across various industries, alongside exposure to nonprofit accounting and compliance.
• Technical Proficiency: Deep understanding of US GAAP, GAAS, and audit software platforms (e.g., CCH Engagement, AdvanceFlow, or equivalent).
• Location Presence: Ability to work full-time on-site at our Norwalk, CT office and travel locally to client sites as required.
• Communication: Strong written and verbal communication skills for direct client relationship management.

Nice to Have

• Credentials: Active CPA license or actively sitting for the CPA exam (firm covers exam fees and study support).
• Specialized Knowledge: Familiarity with nonprofit-specific audit standards, including Single Audits (Uniform Guidance).
• Process Improvement: Track record of process-improvement initiatives within an audit or accounting department.

Pay & Benefits

• Base Salary: $100,000-$120,000 depending on experience and CPA credential status.
• Bonus: Performance-based bonus program targeting an additional 5% to 15% of base salary annually.
• Health: Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision with generous firm cost-sharing.
• Retirement: 401(k) with a 4% company match.
• PTO: 20 days flexible PTO + paid holidays + post-busy-season rest days.
• Growth: Firm-sponsored CPE, CPA exam fee reimbursement, and a defined promotion track to Audit Manager.

Location & Schedule

Full-time, on-site - Norwalk, CT. Modern office space in downtown Norwalk with standard business hours. Unlike other positions, this role is fully on-site to facilitate team collaboration and client onboarding.

We are a client-first CPA firm where senior staff work closely with partners, contributions are visible, and career growth is structured - not promised someday. If you are ready to do complex work without sacrificing your quality of life, we want to hear from you.
