\n

We are partnered with an established CPA firm looking to add an Audit Manager to its Not-for-Profit practice .

\n

\n

The firm offers a flexible hybrid setup, with employees expected to be in the office 2 days per week .

\n

\n

This position is suited to someone who has built genuine expertise auditing 501(c)(3) public charities and has worked with a broad range of nonprofit organizations.

\n

A key requirement is experience beyond organizations that are predominantly government or grant funded. The team is particularly interested in someone who understands the more complex areas of nonprofit financial reporting, including investment portfolios and endowment funds .

\n

\n

The Role

\n

As an Audit Manager, you'll take ownership of nonprofit audit engagements from planning through completion, working directly with clients while overseeing and developing members of the audit team.

\n

\n

What We're Looking For

\n

Ideally, you'll have:

\n

\n
• 5+ years of public accounting audit experience
\n
• Strong experience auditing 501(c)(3) public charities
\n
• Experience auditing organizations with investments and endowment funds
\n

The Experience That Will Stand Out

\n

We're particularly interested in candidates who have worked with nonprofit organizations with more complex balance sheets and funding structures.

\n

This could include experience across:

\n

Endowment Funds | Investment Portfolios | Donor-Restricted Assets | Contributions & Gifts | Multiple Revenue Streams | Complex Financial Statement Disclosures

\n

\n

Candidates whose nonprofit experience has been focused predominantly on government-funded organizations may not have had sufficient exposure to investments and endowments, so direct experience in these areas will be particularly important .

\n

\n

The Opportunity

\n

This is an opportunity to join an established nonprofit practice where you'll work with a varied client portfolio and take responsibility for more technically interesting engagements.

\n

\n

You'll have direct access to senior leadership, responsibility for your own client relationships and the opportunity to continue progressing within the firm's Not-for-Profit practice.

\n

Hybrid working – just 2 days per week in the office.

\n

\n

If you're currently an Audit Manager or experienced Audit Senior/Supervisor with strong 501(c)(3) experience and have worked with investments and endowment funds , we'd be interested in speaking with you.
