Assurance Senior Associate - Construction

Frederick / Baltimore, Maryland | $90,000 - $100,000

Looking to take the next step in your audit career with a role offering greater responsibility, client exposure and the opportunity to lead complex engagements? This is an excellent opportunity to join a growing professional services firm, where you can develop your technical expertise, take ownership of a varied client portfolio and play an important role in supporting junior team members.

With a flexible working environment, strong benefits package and clear opportunities for professional development, this position offers an excellent balance between career progression and work-life balance.

The Opportunity

We are recruiting an Assurance Senior Associate - Construction to join an established accountancy practice with offices across Maryland.

You will take responsibility for managing and reviewing audit and assurance engagements, working closely with clients and internal teams to ensure high-quality delivery. This is a hands‑on position suited to an experienced public accounting professional who is confident handling complex assignments, resolving technical accounting matters and supervising less experienced colleagues.

The role will also provide exposure to wider tax and accounting matters, allowing you to broaden your experience within a supportive accountancy environment.

What You'll Be Doing

• Lead and supervise audit and financial statement review engagements, ensuring deadlines and budgets are achieved.
• Review financial statements, supporting schedules and disclosures, identifying potential issues and recommending appropriate solutions.
• Assess internal controls, accounting procedures and financial reporting processes.
• Oversee audit testing across areas including inventory, accounts receivable, revenue recognition, depreciation and liabilities.
• Review inventory valuations, identify obsolete or slow‑moving stock and supervise inventory observations where required.
• Prepare and review financial reports, management letters and supporting documentation, including detailed footnotes.
• Manage client relationships, maintaining regular communication and providing practical accounting and tax guidance.
• Monitor engagement budgets and identify potential overruns or delivery concerns at an early stage.
• Research technical accounting and taxation matters, keeping up to date with relevant professional standards and regulatory developments.
• Support, mentor and supervise junior members of the team, helping to develop their technical capabilities.
• Identify opportunities to improve client processes and contribute to the delivery of wider advisory services.

What We're Looking For

• At least three years' experience within public accounting, with a strong background in audit and assurance.
• A solid understanding of accounting and auditing principles, with the ability to research and resolve more complex technical issues.
• Previous experience planning and supervising audit engagements and larger financial statement reviews.
• Strong knowledge of accounting and auditing software, alongside excellent analytical and research capabilities.
• A proactive approach to managing deadlines, budgets and competing priorities.
• Confident communication skills and the ability to build lasting relationships with clients and colleagues.
• Experience with employee benefit plan audits and/or Single Audits would be advantageous.
• CPA qualified, or working towards qualification with the intention of obtaining it within an agreed timeframe.

What's on Offer?

• Salary of $90,000 - $100,000, depending on experience.
• Flexible working environment designed to support work-life balance.
• Open paid time off policy.
• 401(k) with employer matching and profit‑sharing opportunities.
• Medical, dental and vision insurance.
• Company‑paid life insurance.
• Short‑term and long‑term disability coverage.
