Senior Audit Accountant

Senior Audit Accountant

We are seeking an experienced Senior Audit Accountant to join a growing public accounting firm serving privately held businesses and individuals. This is a hands-on audit role responsible for managing engagements from start to finish, including planning, fieldwork, wrap-up, and preparation of financial statements.

AlphaHire is recruiting on behalf of a respected accounting and advisory firm providing audit, tax, accounting, and consulting services. Working directly under the Accounting Manager, you will play a key role in delivering high-quality audit engagements while developing strong client relationships and collaborating with a talented team of accounting professionals.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced public accountant who enjoys owning the entire audit process rather than specializing in only one phase of an engagement.

Responsibilities

• Perform audit and assurance engagements from planning through completion, including risk assessment, fieldwork, wrap-up, and financial statement preparation.
• Prepare and review audit workpapers to ensure accuracy, completeness, and compliance with professional standards.
• Assist with engagement planning, budgeting, and scheduling to ensure projects are completed efficiently.
• Prepare financial statements and related disclosures in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
• Evaluate internal controls and accounting processes while identifying areas for improvement.
• Communicate directly with clients to obtain information, resolve audit issues, and provide engagement updates.
• Research and apply U.S. GAAP and GAAS guidance as needed throughout audit engagements.
• Collaborate with the Accounting Manager and engagement team to resolve technical accounting and auditing matters.
• Maintain organized engagement documentation and ensure compliance with firm policies and professional standards.
• Support multiple audit engagements while meeting deadlines and maintaining exceptional quality.
