Overview

Frank, Rimerman + Co. LLP is a leading accounting and financial consulting firm that has advised entrepreneurs, venture capital firms, high-growth technology companies, and high-net-worth individuals since 1949. With deep roots in Silicon Valley and the broader innovation economy, we work closely with venture-backed companies throughout their lifecycle, from formation and early funding rounds through rapid scaling, IPO readiness, acquisitions, and beyond. Our professionals combine strong technical accounting expertise with a practical understanding of the operating, financial, and governance challenges faced by emerging growth companies. This perspective allows us to serve not only as auditors, but also as trusted advisors to management teams, boards of directors, and investors navigating today's dynamic technology landscape. Our services include Audit and Assurance, Tax Consulting and Planning, Outsourced Accounting and CFO Services, Business Valuation, Litigation Support, and Strategic Business Consulting. We are seeking experienced professionals to join our Corporate Audit practice. This role offers a unique opportunity to gain firsthand exposure to the venture-backed technology ecosystem while working with some of the most innovative companies in Silicon Valley and beyond. Our clients range from seed-stage and venture-backed startups to growth-stage technology companies, established private businesses, and public companies. Success in this role requires more than technical audit skills. It requires curiosity about how technology companies build products, raise capital, scale operations, manage cash, and navigate the expectations of founders, investors, and boards. As a Senior, you will work directly with founders, CFOs, controllers, audit committees, and investors, helping clients address complex accounting and business challenges while developing a deep understanding of the venture capital and startup environment. If you are looking to elevate your career beyond traditional audit work and become a trusted business advisor to innovative growth companies, Frank, Rimerman provides that opportunity.

Responsibilities

• Lead client audit engagements, including planning, executing, directing, and completing financial statement audits.
• Develop a deep understanding of venture-backed and technology company business models, financing structures, and operational metrics.
• Serve as the primary day-to-day contact for management teams, including CFOs, controllers, and finance leaders.
• In-charge or supervise multiple engagements while leading teams of 2-3 associates.
• Research and analyze complex accounting and auditing matters commonly encountered by growth-stage companies, including equity transactions, stock-based compensation, revenue recognition, debt financing, and business combinations.
• Apply generally accepted auditing standards while providing practical insights to clients.
• Supervise, train, and mentor associates and interns in both auditing fundamentals and the unique aspects of auditing technology companies.
• Report directly to Managers, Senior Managers, and Partners.

Requirements

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Accounting, Business, or a related field with an accounting emphasis.
• CPA license or active progress toward CPA certification, including completion of CPA eligibility requirements.
• 3-5 years of public accounting experience in audit and assurance services.
• Proven experience auditing technology and venture backed clients preferred.
• A strong interest in understanding venture-backed companies, startup business models, and the technology ecosystem.
• Experience serving as a primary client contact and/or engagement team lead preferred.
• Professionalism, integrity, dependability, and strong relationship-building skills.
• Dedication to delivering exceptional client service and becoming a trusted advisor to innovative companies.
• Intellectual curiosity and a desire to understand how founders, investors, and management teams build and scale successful businesses.
