Job Description

As a Senior Audit Associate, you will be a key contributor on assurance engagements — working directly with clients and mentoring junior team members. Day-to-day, you will:

• Apply GAAP and GAAS knowledge to live client engagements — drafting financial statements with disclosures, supporting conclusions with authoritative literature, and researching intermediate accounting topics independently
• Execute audit fieldwork with a sharp eye for detail: identifying areas where testing should be expanded or reduced, documenting findings in line with firm methodology, and flagging deviations to senior team members
• Evaluate and document the operating effectiveness of client internal control systems and recommend improvements to internal controls and accounting procedures
• Serve as in-charge on review and audit engagements, contributing meaningfully to planning, coordination, and execution
• Collaborate closely with engagement teams — sharing ideas, raising questions, and building the kind of professional judgment that defines strong auditors
• Build and maintain strong client relationships through clear, professional communication at every stage of the engagement

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting or a related field required; Master's in Accountancy preferred
• 2+ years of relevant audit or assurance experience required
• Experience acting as in-charge on review or audit engagements strongly preferred
• Solid working knowledge of GAAP, GAAS, and professional auditing standards
• Basic experience supervising or mentoring junior staff preferred
• CPA license or active pursuit of CPA.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Ability to work effectively in a team setting and manage competing deadlines with accuracy
• Willingness to travel as needed
