Audit & Assurance Senior | $90,000 – $115,000 | Sacramento, CA | Hybrid

Most audit senior job ads blend into one another: checklists of procedures, test workpapers, supervisory duties, rinse and repeat. But the real difference isn’t the number of audit hours you log, it’s the environment you’re in while you do it. That’s where this Sacramento–based CPA firm stands apart.

This isn’t a place where you disappear into a sea of checkboxes or feel like a cog in a compliance machine. You’ll work with a tight-knit team that values thoughtful analysis and quality engagement execution, not just completing the next program. The work is substantive, engaging, and grounded in real client needs, and the culture is one that respects professionalism without taking itself too seriously.

You’ll be involved in audits and assurance work across a range of clients, from privately held businesses to nonprofits, gaining solid exposure to financial statement audits, internal controls, risk assessments, and areas like revenue, cash, inventory, and fixed assets. The work is challenging enough to keep you sharp, but balanced enough to support a sustainable schedule and meaningful collaboration.

Why this role might make busy season feel manageable:

• A hybrid schedule that’s genuinely flexible and built around results, not seat time
• A culture where judgment and communication matter as much as technical ability
• Real mentorship and clear opportunities to stretch your skills
• Clients who appreciate quality work and constructive partnership

What they’re looking for:

• 3+ years of audit & assurance experience in public accounting
• Comfort leading sections and coordinating junior staff
• Strong understanding of GAAP and audit risk assessment
• Clear communicator who enjoys working with teams and clients alike
• Proficiency with audit tools and software (or a solid ability to learn them)

If you thrive on thoughtful audit work, take pride in well-reasoned conclusions, and want to build a career in a supportive, technically strong environment, this could be the right next step.

If you’d like to know more or have questions before applying, feel free to reach out. And if your resume hasn’t been polished in a while, that’s okay, give me a call first or connect on LinkedIn.

Even if you don’t check every box, we encourage you to hit that apply button. We partner with CPA firms committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion, and if this role isn’t the perfect fit, we’d love to help find one that is.
