Audit Manager

Why Join Us

Public accounting offers plenty of opportunities. We believe the experience of working at McClintock & Associates is a little different.

We’re a Pittsburgh-based accounting firm of approximately 30–35 people, specializing in serving the postsecondary education industry. Our size allows us to offer something that’s increasingly difficult to find: the opportunity to build meaningful relationships—with your clients, the people you lead, and colleagues throughout the firm.

Here, you won’t get lost in the shuffle. You’ll have the opportunity to lead engagements, develop people, work directly with clients, and have a visible impact on the success of the firm. Just as importantly, you’ll work alongside people who know one another, support one another, and genuinely care about the people behind the work.

We’re proud to have been recognized as a Best Places to Work in 2021, 2023, 2024, and 2025. We believe that recognition reflects the environment we’ve worked hard to create: one built around strong relationships, professional growth, collaboration, flexibility, and respect for life outside of work.

If you’re an experienced auditor looking for an opportunity to lead without getting lost in a large-firm environment, we’d like to meet you.

Solution Minded – We approach challenges with creativity and a focus on finding the right answer.

Family Focused – We recognize that life outside of work matters and support time away for ourselves and the people important to us.

Embrace Challenges – We approach new and difficult situations with confidence, adaptability, and a willingness to grow.
