Senior Associate – Accounting, Audit & Tax

Location: Wilmington, DE

We are partnered with a well‑established CPA firm that provides accounting, audit, and tax services to a diverse client base. The firm is looking to add a Senior Associate to its team—someone who enjoys taking ownership of engagements, mentoring junior staff, and continuing to grow professionally in a collaborative environment.

This is an excellent opportunity for a public accounting professional who wants exposure to a broad range of work and direct interaction with firm leadership.

What You'll Do

• Perform diversified accounting, audit, and tax assignments with minimal supervision
• Participate in planning and scheduling client engagements
• Prepare, review, and organize workpapers in accordance with professional standards
• Perform audit procedures, including determining testing scope and selecting transactions
• Draft financial statements, footnotes, and audit reports
• Assist with identifying tax planning opportunities and communicating ideas to leadership
• Prepare client correspondence and contribute to management letters
• Review work prepared by junior team members and provide coaching and feedback
• Act as a mentor and support the development of less experienced staff
• Maintain strong client relationships and meet deadlines and budget expectations
• Continue progressing professionally by working toward CPA completion, if not already licensed

What We're Looking For

• 2+ years of public accounting experience with increasing responsibility
• Bachelor's degree in Accounting
• CPA license or actively working toward CPA completion
• Strong understanding of accounting, audit, and tax fundamentals
• Ability to manage multiple assignments and deadlines
• Strong analytical, organizational, and problem‑solving skills
• Professional communication skills and comfort interacting with clients
• Proficiency in Microsoft Excel and Word

Why This Opportunity

• Broad exposure across accounting, audit, and tax—not siloed work
• Opportunity to lead engagements and mentor junior staff
• Direct access to managers, directors, and partners
• Supportive environment that values development and long‑term growth
• Stable firm with a strong reputation and collaborative culture

This role is ideal for someone who wants to continue building technical expertise while taking on a more leadership‑oriented position within public accounting.
