Job description

Senior Associate - Accounting and Transactional Advisory

• Full-time

CNM LLP is a specialized boutique accounting and consulting services firm looking for a senior accounting professional to help double the size of our firm in three years. As a result, you will have the opportunity to grow your career in a collaborative environment that is a playground for highly skilled, self‑motivated professionals. You will work on project teams which advise and collaborate with high growth companies on significant equity transactions including their initial public offering (IPO) process and solve complex technical accounting issues. You will also have the opportunity to partner on project teams to assist with SOX compliance and internal audit projects for companies that range from newly public high growth entities in rapidly changing environments, to the largest entertainment and public companies in Los Angeles.

If you’re interested, here is the challenge for your first year with CNM LLP.

• Actively improve technical accounting skills by becoming a subject matter expert (SME) in a complex accounting area of your choice through on‑the‑job feedback, performance evaluations, mentoring and firm-sponsored formal training programs including monthly CPE and SME training.
• Assist with public offerings, inclusive of performing audit preparation work, documenting significant accounting policies, and preparing the financial statements and related footnote disclosures.
• Assist with the preparation of S‑1, 10‑K, 10‑Q, and 8‑K filings related to IPOs, debt offerings and acquisitions.
• Research and resolve complex accounting issues balancing client preferred solutions within the confines of the US GAAP structure.
• Demonstrating clear and concise writing, and verbal skills to communicate complex issues in simple terms to clients and team members.
• Producing quality deliverables evidenced through minimal review time and review notes.
• Complete the assigned internal control processes on 3‑4 project teams, within the given budget with minimal supervision by:
• Creating process narratives, identifying key controls, and concluding on design and operating effectiveness of key controls.
• Demonstrating clear and concise writing, and verbal skills to communicate complex issues in simple terms to clients and team members.
• Producing quality deliverables evidenced through minimal review time and review notes.
• Actively improving technical and project management skills through on‑the‑job feedback, performance evaluations, mentoring and firm-sponsored formal training programs including monthly CPE and Subject Matter Expert (SME) training.
• Responding to client needs and balancing the competing priorities with minimal client disruptions, while maintaining project progress.
• Given the startup environment of our clients, the ability to adapt to unexpected changes to timelines, deadlines, and the scope of work is a must.
• Responding to client needs and balancing the competing priorities with minimal client disruptions, while maintaining project progress.

Upon successfully demonstrating the skill set listed above you will have the opportunity to earn a promotion to Manager. As a Manager you will be responsible for:

• Building internal teams through participation in our mentoring program and interviewing.
• Managing one to several individual project teams, project scheduling, reviewing of workpapers, and being the primary point of contact between the CNM team and the client.
• Teaching the CNM team and advising firm clients as an SME resource in 2‑3 technical accounting areas.

Realistically, we need someone with a CPA or CIA license or who has a goal to obtain one in the near future. (We help you achieve this with time off for testing, paying for study materials, and paying for the exams). A strong accounting foundation with hands‑on knowledge of internal controls is really important.
