Job Description

Position Overview

Overhead Solutions Group is seeking an experienced CPA Accounting Manager to lead audit and assurance engagements, provide technical oversight, and serve as a key layer of leadership within our public accounting firm.

This role is designed for a technically strong CPA—who is ready to step into true managerial authority. The Accounting Manager will function as a senior reviewer, advisor, and mentor, reducing rework, improving quality, and supporting both clients and staff at a high level.

This is not a production-heavy role. The value of this position lies in judgment, leadership, and technical excellence.

Primary Responsibilities

Audit & Assurance Leadership

• Lead and review nonprofit and commercial audit engagements
• Perform final-level reviews of:
  • Audit workpapers
  • Financial statements
  • Required disclosures and reports
• Ensure compliance with GAAP, GAGAS (where applicable), and firm quality standards
• Resolve complex accounting and audit issues independently
• Support audit planning, risk assessments, and engagement strategy
• Serve as the final technical reviewer prior to partner sign-off

Advisory & Technical Oversight

• Provide accounting and financial advisory support to clients
• Identify and communicate internal control and financial reporting improvements
• Participate in high-level client discussions related to audit findings and accounting matters
• Contribute to firm-wide technical standards and best practices

Tax Review (Limited Scope)

• Review selected business and nonprofit tax filings, including Forms 990
• Ensure alignment between tax filings and audited financial statements
• Identify planning considerations and escalate as appropriate
  (Tax preparation is not the primary focus of this role.)

Team Leadership & Quality Control

• Review work prepared by seniors and staff prior to final partner review
• Serve as a technical resource and mentor to engagement teams
• Enforce consistent audit and accounting standards to reduce rework
• Provide feedback and coaching focused on quality, efficiency, and professional judgment
• Assist with workflow management and deadline adherence

Why You’ll Enjoy Working Here

• Your expertise is trusted. Senior CPAs are empowered to make decisions and exercise professional judgment.
• Direct access to leadership. You will work closely with firm leadership and have real influence over how work is performed.
• Intentional growth. Advancement is based on performance and contribution—not tenure or internal politics.
• Sustainable expectations. We value quality work and thoughtful planning over unnecessary burnout.
• Opportunity to build. This role offers the chance to help shape the firm’s future, not just maintain the status quo.

Career Growth & Long-Term Opportunity

This position is designed as a leadership-track role. For the right candidate, there is a clear path to expanded responsibility and senior leadership. Potential equity participation may be considered over time, based on performance, tenure, and mutual alignment.

Qualifications

• Active CPA license (required)
• Minimum 6 years of experience in public accounting
• Strong background in audit and assurance
• Demonstrated ability to independently review complex engagements
• Experience mentoring or managing staff
• Excellent technical, communication, and leadership skills
