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.

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 Senior is responsible for leading and executing nonprofit audit engagements with a high level of technical competence, judgment, and professionalism. This role manages day-to-day audit activities, supports audit planning and risk assessment, and serves as a key point of contact for clients and internal team members. Audit Seniors play an essential role in delivering high-quality audits that reinforce financial credibility, regulatory compliance, and stakeholder confidence for Han Group’s nonprofit clients.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and manage audit engagements for nonprofit clients in accordance with applicable accounting standards, auditing standards, and regulatory requirements.
• Develop and execute audit plans, including risk assessments, audit procedures, and engagement timelines.
• Evaluate internal controls and identify opportunities to strengthen financial and operational processes.
• Prepare and review financial statements, supporting schedules, and accounting records to ensure accuracy, completeness, and compliance.
• Provide guidance, supervision, and constructive feedback to audit staff throughout the engagement lifecycle.
• Communicate audit findings, issues, and recommendations clearly and professionally to clients, including translating complex financial matters into understandable terms.
• Collaborate with clients to resolve audit issues, address discrepancies, and implement sound accounting and reporting practices.
• Maintain regular communication with Audit Managers and Partners regarding engagement progress, significant findings, and emerging risks.
• Stay current on accounting, auditing, and nonprofit industry developments to ensure audit methodologies remain relevant and effective.
• Build and maintain strong client relationships through responsiveness, reliability, and professional judgment.
• Participate in firm initiatives, including training, mentoring, and quality assurance efforts, to support audit excellence and professional development.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in accounting, finance, or a related field
• CPA certification or progress toward CPA licensure through completion of one or more exam sections
• Three to six years of auditing experience, preferably serving nonprofit organizations
• Strong understanding of auditing principles, standards, and best practices
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office applications
• Familiarity with audit software such as Caseware Working Papers or CCH ProSystem fx Engagement preferred
• Excellent communication, interpersonal, organizational, and time management skills
