Job description

We’re looking for an Internal Auditor who doesn’t just check boxes. You connect dots.

In this role, you’ll partner with leadership across our group companies to strengthen processes, sharpen controls, and turn risk into opportunity. You’ll work within U.S. auditing standards (US GAAS) and Japanese reporting standards (J-SOX), while collaborating closely with the Audit Manager and cross‑functional teams to deliver meaningful insights, not just reports.

If you’re analytical, detail‑obsessed (in the best way), and confident enough to explain the “why” behind your recommendations to business leaders, this role may be a strong fit.

🧠 What You’ll Do

• Assist the Internal Audit Manager in planning and executing annual audit engagements across group companies
• Identify and analyze risks within complex business structures and operating environments
• Evaluate control design and perform operational testwork at group companies
• Conduct audits under the Internal Audit Manager’s guidance as you grow your understanding of our entities
• Work directly with leadership teams to address audit concerns and resolve deficiencies
• Educate small business leaders on the reasoning behind audit requests, building trust, not tension
• Review work performed by fellow internal auditors
• Partner with the Internal Audit Manager to design and develop internal audit workpapers and SOPs

Deliver & Improve

• Prepare clear, impactful audit reports for management at Synergos and group companies
• Recommend practical improvements to processes, controls, and documentation
• Actively contribute to control identification and development for supported companies
• Participate in miscellaneous ad‑hoc projects with curiosity and ownership

🎯 What Success Looks Like

• You become a trusted advisor, not just an auditor
• You proactively identify control gaps before they become problems
• You help shape smarter, stronger systems across the organization
• You take initiative with minimal direction and deliver consistently

🎓 What You Bring

• 2+ years of auditing experience (construction experience is a plus)
• CPA license (preferred, but not required)
• Strong understanding of accounting cycles and auditing standards
• Advanced Microsoft Office skills, specifically Excel
• Excellent communication and analytical abilities
• High integrity and discretion with confidential information
• Ability to manage multiple priorities and travel as needed

If you’re ready to bring precision, partnership, and proactive thinking to internal audit, we encourage you to apply!
