Senior Auditor, CPA

Audit & Assurance | Client Advisory | Career Advancement | Exceptional Work-Life Balance

Compensation: $85,000–$115,000 Base + Performance Bonus + Career Growth Opportunity

Location: Green Bay, Wisconsin
Schedule: Flexible Hybrid

Our client, a highly respected CPA and advisory firm with a history dating back to 1947, is seeking an experienced Senior Auditor to join its growing Assurance team in Green Bay.

This is more than a traditional audit role.

It's an opportunity to work directly with business owners, nonprofit organizations, municipalities, management teams, and organizational leaders while helping deliver high-quality audit, review, and assurance services. You'll play a visible role within the firm's Assurance practice while developing trusted client relationships, mentoring staff, and gaining exposure to a diverse portfolio of engagements.

As the firm continues to grow, leadership remains committed to providing professionals with meaningful career opportunities, strong mentorship, flexibility, and a culture that values both professional success and personal well-being.

If you're looking for a role that provides technical growth, client interaction, leadership development, and long-term advancement opportunities, we'd welcome a confidential conversation.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• $85,000–$115,000 base salary
• Annual performance bonus opportunity
• Flexible and family-friendly work environment
• Remote work options available
• Strong emphasis on work-life balance
• Exposure to diverse industries and engagement types
• Leadership and mentoring opportunities
• Ongoing education and professional development
• Clear path toward Audit Manager and firm leadership
• Collaborative, team-oriented culture
• Long-standing client relationships and strong community reputation

Exceptional candidates with municipality, nonprofit, employee benefit plan, or specialized assurance experience may be considered above the posted compensation range.
