The opportunity

Our Financial Accounting Advisory Services (FAAS) team is growing exponentially, and as a Senior Manager you’ll play a key role in that growth. Working across all industries, you’ll develop your career by communicating creative, strategic goals both internally and externally. It’s all about listening to and understanding our clients to give them a truly exceptional experience in a field where there really are no off‑the‑shelf recommendations.

Your Key Responsibilities

The nature of this role means no two projects will be the same. That means you’ll need to think on your feet and challenge existing practices to develop answers to complex issues. You’ll also be collaborating with colleagues across multiple service lines, so we’ll look to you to build relationships and identify opportunities for our clients to benefit from our knowledge in other areas. Regular travel will be required as you will be meeting with key clients, some of those being the most respected in their fields.

Skills And Attributes For Success

• Consulting with clients on complex accounting issues
• Collaborating with partners, senior managers and clients to influence strategy, balancing risk and client expectations
• Ensuring our Engagement team thoroughly understands our clients’ unique needs, ambitions and expectations
• Building relationships with colleagues across multiple service lines to provide seamless integrated service
• Managing performance and identifying opportunities to improve our products and processes

To qualify for the role you must have

• A bachelor’s degree in an accounting, finance or business discipline, and 8+ years of experience as an auditor in a public accounting firm
• US CPA licensure in your work state
• Strong technical writing skills and advanced risk management knowledge
• A deep understanding of the marketplace, as well as commonly used terminology, processes and tools
• A proven record of excellence when managing, mentoring and improving a team of high‑performing colleagues
• The confidence to research and resolve emerging client issues, including regulations, industry practices and new technologies

Ideally you’ll also have

• A master's degree in accounting, finance or business discipline
• External audit experience at a Big 4 accounting firm

What We Look For

We’re interested in versatile people with the ability to take on new responsibilities and listen to clients to get things done. We’re not just looking for technical accounting experience — we’re after genuinely interesting people with the ability to build relationships, negotiate and think in unique and creative news ways. If you’re a confident leader with a curious mind and the ability to solve complex issues, this role is for you.

What We Offer You

• We offer a comprehensive compensation and benefits package where you’ll be rewarded based on your performance and recognized for the value you bring to the business. The base salary range for this job in all geographic locations in the US is $146,700 to $335,100. The base salary range for New York City Metro Area, Washington State and California (excluding Sacramento) is $176,000 to $380,800.
