Job description

This isn’t an Audit Senior role where you’re stuck in a back corner ticking boxes. It’s hands‑on, client‑facing, and offers the kind of exposure that actually moves your career forward.

You’ll work with a close‑knit team less than 50 staff on audits across a variety of industries from nonprofits, EBPs to For Profit clients including manufacturing and tech. You’ll touch every part of the engagement, with mentorship, support, and the chance to lead.

The firm? Modern. Not just in tech and systems - though they’ve got those too - but in mindset.

The partner group is young, open, and invested in your growth. There’s a formal mentor program and their vision is to continue expanding the firm while preserving its people‑first culture

Outside of busy season, you’re looking at 40 hours or less. Busy season itself? 55 hours logged. And beyond that Summer Fridays, generous PTO to give you the time to check out, and a strong benefits package.

If you’ve got 4+ years of external audit experience and want a role where purpose, flexibility, and progression genuinely line up, this could be worth a conversation.
