Audit & Assurance Manager

Job Description

Job Description

You know how to run an audit. What if your next role gave you the room to shape what happens beyond it?

This Audit & Assurance Manager opportunity puts you closer to the clients, the decisions, and the people you lead. You'll own key relationships, guide complex engagements from planning through issuance, develop Seniors and Staff, and work with firm leadership on the issues clients bring to the table throughout the year.

The package includes a $145,000 to $165,000 annual salary plus bonus, comprehensive benefits, generous PTO and holidays, a flexible summer schedule, and CPA and continuing education reimbursement. The listed hybrid arrangement is 2 to 3 days in office in Colorado Springs.

What you'll be doing:

Lead audit, review, and assurance engagements from planning through completion and final issuance

Serve as a primary point of contact for clients, building relationships with CFOs, Controllers, business owners, and senior management

Understand the business behind the financial statements and advise clients on complex accounting, reporting, internal control, and operational matters

Lead engagement strategy, risk assessment, audit execution, financial statement preparation, and resolution of complex technical issues

Review financial statements, disclosures, workpapers, and engagement documentation while maintaining a high standard of audit quality

Manage engagement economics, including budgets, realization, staffing, scheduling, deadlines, and overall profitability

Identify issues early, develop practical solutions, and communicate recommendations directly to clients and firm leadership

Research and apply complex GAAP, GAAS, and evolving accounting and auditing guidance

Lead, coach, and develop Seniors and Staff while creating clear accountability across engagement teams

Make staffing and delegation decisions that balance professional development with engagement efficiency

Identify opportunities to strengthen client relationships and introduce additional assurance, accounting, and advisory services

Participate in practice development, recruiting, internal initiatives, and other efforts that contribute to the growth of the firm

Become a resource clients rely on throughout the year—not simply when the audit starts

What you'll bring:

5+ years of progressive public accounting audit and assurance experience

Current Audit Manager experience or demonstrated experience operating at the Manager level

Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field

CPA strongly preferred

Strong command of GAAP, GAAS, financial reporting, risk assessment, internal controls, and audit methodology

Proven experience leading engagements from planning through issuance

Experience managing engagement budgets, staffing, deadlines, realization, and multiple client relationships simultaneously

Ability to review complex financial statements and audit documentation while providing clear technical direction to engagement teams

Confidence working directly with CFOs, Controllers, business owners, and other senior client leadership

Demonstrated success coaching, developing, and reviewing the work of Seniors and Staff

Experience with privately held businesses, nonprofits, middle-market companies, or a diverse client portfolio is valuable
