Known for their friendly and collaborative culture, they emphasize professional growth, work-life balance, and building strong client relationships. Their assurance practice is expanding rapidly, creating immediate opportunities for talented auditors to join their team.

ABOUT THE ROLE

Our Client is seeking Experienced Auditors at the Staff, Senior, and Manager levels for both full-time and contract assignments. This team works across a diverse range of industries, including construction, homebuilding, manufacturing, real estate, and professional services. Auditors will split time between the firm’s office (located on the West/Southwest side of Houston) and client sites in a hybrid work schedule.

This is an excellent opportunity to join a team that values technical excellence as much as it values culture — they’re looking for auditors who are not only skilled, but also collaborative, personable, and team-oriented.

• Perform auditing for corporate operations, financials, and regulatory compliance.
• Evaluate and recommend improvements to business processes and controls.

• Perform assigned audit activities accurately and in a timely manner.
• Conduct interviews with client business units to obtain necessary audit information.
• Communicate audit issues to Managers promptly and effectively.
• Prepare detailed reports of audit findings and recommendations for management.
• Maintain all audit work papers and supporting documentation.

QUALIFICATIONS

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance with at least 21 hours of accounting coursework.
• Minimum of 1 year of external audit experience in a CPA firm (up to 8 years of experience considered).
• Candidates with prior public accounting experience who have since transitioned to industry but wish to return to client services will be considered.
• Strong interpersonal skills with a collaborative, team-oriented approach.
• Positive, professional attitude with an appreciation for a fun, supportive work environment.
