Audit Manager

If you like public accounting but are getting tired of what the lifestyle requires at your current firm this is the type of move that is worth looking at.

Were partnered with one of the largest accounting and advisory firms in the country on its growing Alternative Investments Audit practice supporting private equity hedge funds venture capital fund of funds real estate funds and other investment company clients.

The biggest differentiator is work-life balance . This firm has built a much more sustainable model than what many auditors experience at larger public accounting firms. You still get sophisticated clients strong technical exposure and a legitimate path toward Director and Partner-level leadership but without feeling like the job has to take over your life.

That has become a major reason weve seen experienced auditors including a number coming from the Big 4 make the public-to-public move. Many still enjoy audit and want to stay in the profession. They just want a better platform to build their career without sacrificing everything outside of work.

The team also offers a strong middle-market client focus more direct exposure to clients and senior leadership formal professional and leadership development and the resources of a major national firm without the same level of bureaucracy found at some of the largest firms.

Were posting this at the Manager level but the team is actively hiring Senior through Director so candidates at other levels are encouraged to apply.
