Step into a high-impact leadership role where your audit expertise and people skills truly matter.

• Review and finalize workpapers and audit documentation in accordance with professional and firm standards, ensuring accuracy and completeness
• Manage, develop, and train staff; contribute to off‑season training and implementation of new accounting and auditing standards
• Oversee time reporting, billing, WIP, and collections for assigned clients, meeting firm realization and billing goals
• Exercise discretion and sound judgment when working with confidential client information
• Drive firm growth by building client relationships, identifying additional service opportunities, and engaging in networking and other business development activities
