Senior Audit Associate

3+ years' public accounting audit experience required The accounting world seems to be getting bigger every year. More mergers. More private equity. More layers of management. This firm has gone in the opposite direction. They're independently owned, have no interest in selling, and are focused on building the next generation of leaders from within. They've been around for more than 50 years, and instead of chasing the latest trend, they've stayed true to what made them successful in the first place. That means approachable Partners, low staff turnover, a collaborative team, and a genuine opportunity to build a long term career rather than wondering what another acquisition might mean for your future. The firm has around 35 people and six Partners, with one Partner expected to retire over the next few years. They've promoted Managers into Partnership before, and succession is something they're actively planning for, not something they'll think about later. The audit team works with a broad mix of clients. While there's a heavier focus on nonprofit organisations and employee benefit plans, you'll also work with a range of for profit businesses, giving you plenty of variety throughout the year. What you'll find here: Busy season typically around 55 to 60 hours Half-day Fridays during the summer Paid overtime bonus opportunities 30+ days PTO and wellness leave Clear development plans with individual performance goals CPA support and genuine investment in your career One thing they really believe in is getting people in front of clients early. Even junior team members are encouraged to build relationships and develop those softer skills alongside their technical ability. It's the sort of experience that pays off later in your career. They're looking for someone with at least three years of external audit experience in public accounting who wants more than just another busy season. If you're looking for a firm where you can keep progressing, work alongside approachable leaders, and be part of a team that's deliberately chosen to stay independent, I'd love to tell you more. #J-18808-Ljbffr
