Job Description

Job Description

Senior Associate – Accounting, Audit & Tax

Location: Wilmington, DE
Experience Level: 2+ Years of Public Accounting Experience

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.
