Job description

Take your audit career beyond the numbers—and make a real impact on how a large organization operates.

Atlantic Group is seeking a Senior Internal Auditor in Philadelphia, PA on behalf of our client, a large and well-established corporate organization. This is an exciting opportunity for an audit professional who wants to move beyond traditional testing and become a trusted business partner, helping leadership identify risk, strengthen controls, improve processes, and drive meaningful change across the organization.

If you have experience in public accounting, external audit, or internal audit and are ready to take on greater ownership, visibility, and influence, this role offers an excellent next step in your career.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

This isn’t a role where you simply check boxes and move on to the next audit.

You’ll have the opportunity to dig into how the business works, identify opportunities to improve it, and work directly with stakeholders to implement solutions. Your recommendations will help shape processes, strengthen the control environment, and support the organization’s broader business objectives.

What’s in it for you:

• Opportunity to build on your audit experience and take on greater responsibility
• Broad exposure to risk, controls, compliance, and business operations
• High visibility and collaboration with accounting, finance, and business leaders
• Opportunity to make meaningful recommendations—not just identify problems
• A role that combines technical audit expertise with strategic business thinking

What You’ll Be Doing

Lead Risk-Based Audit Engagements

Take ownership of internal audit engagements from beginning to end, including planning, risk assessment, testing, fieldwork, analysis, and reporting.

Strengthen Internal Controls

Evaluate the design and operating effectiveness of controls across financial reporting, operational, and compliance processes, identifying opportunities to improve the organization's control environment.

Go beyond identifying deficiencies. Assess the root cause of issues, evaluate business impact, and develop practical recommendations that stakeholders can actually implement.

Present Your Findings

Prepare clear, concise audit reports and communicate findings and recommendations to management and key business stakeholders. Your ability to turn complex audit results into actionable business insights will be highly valued.

Support SOX Compliance

Play an important role in Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) initiatives, including controls documentation, testing, remediation, and ongoing evaluation.

Partner Across the Organization

Work closely with accounting, finance, and operational teams to understand processes, monitor remediation efforts, respond to external audit requests, and continuously improve internal controls.

What Makes You a Great Fit

We’re looking for someone who is curious, analytical, confident, and comfortable asking the right questions.

Required

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field
• 2–7 years of experience in internal audit, external audit, public accounting, or a related field
• Strong understanding of internal controls, risk management, audit methodologies, and SOX compliance
• Experience with audit testing, financial analysis, and data review
• Excellent analytical, problem-solving, communication, and organizational skills
• Ability to manage multiple priorities and collaborate effectively across business functions

Preferred

• CPA, CIA, or other relevant professional certification
• Experience working in a complex corporate environment
• Experience communicating audit findings and recommendations to management

Ready to Make Your Next Career Move?

If you're an audit professional who wants more than another audit checklist, this could be the opportunity you've been waiting for.

Bring your audit expertise to a role where you can see the bigger picture, work directly with business leaders, influence meaningful improvements, and build the skills that can take your career to the next level.
