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 Hudson.

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.

• Clear path toward Audit Manager and firm leadership


• Collaborative, team-oriented culture
