Senior Audit Associate

Job Description

Job Description

Our Client is proof that public accounting can be both rewarding and human-centered. Picture an audit practice where:

• Busy-season hours top out at 50-52 per week, not 70-plus
• Four full weeks of PTO start in year one
• Every employee’s medical, dental, and vision premiums are paid in full
• Leaders promote from within and turnover stays in single digits

If you still enjoy audit work but refuse to sacrifice evenings, weekends, and family time to keep advancing, this may be the role that finally lets you have both a thriving career and a life outside the office.

What You’ll Do

• Lead and run financial statement audits for public and privately held clients across industries such as engineering, real estate development, manufacturing, distribution, supply chain/logistics and professional services
• Manage fieldwork, budgets, and engagement timelines while coaching staff accountants and interns
• Research complex accounting issues, prepare technical memos, and present findings to managers, partners, and client leadership
• Strengthen client relationships through clear communication, proactive problem-solving, and on-time deliverables
• Contribute to process improvements that keep the audit team efficient without adding unnecessary hours

What You’ll Bring

• Bachelor’s degree in accounting (BBA or BS)
• CPA license or active pursuit of licensure
• Minimum three years of recent public-accounting experience performing financial audits (non-IT, non-systems)
• At least one year “senioring” engagements—planning, assigning work, and reviewing staff deliverables
• Ability to juggle multiple engagements, meet deadlines, and guide junior team members
• Strong critical-thinking, communication, and leadership skills

Rewards & Benefits

• Competitive salary: $85,000–115,000 DOE plus performance bonus
• Hybrid schedule: on-site only once per week for collaboration and team culture
• 100 percent employer-paid medical, dental, and vision insurance
• Four weeks PTO in your first year, plus paid holidays
• Paid maternity and paternity leave
• Healthy-lifestyle reimbursement that can cover gym memberships or personal-trainer sessions
