Responsibilities

  • Lead audit engagements from risk assessment and planning through fieldwork, completion, and reporting.
  • Support the onboarding process for new audit clients, ensuring a smooth transition and clear setup of audit workflows and documentation.
  • Review workpapers and audit documentation prepared by junior staff and provide technical guidance, feedback, and mentorship.
  • Perform and evaluate substantive testing and analytical procedures to assess the accuracy and completeness of financial statements.
  • Use Thomson Reuters Engagement to manage audit workpapers, reporting, and compliance-related tasks with accuracy and efficiency.
  • Prepare and review audit schedules, management letters, reconciliations, and other audit documentation in line with professional standards.
  • Analyze financial data to identify trends, anomalies, and areas of risk that require further audit attention.
  • Prepare and review federal and state tax returns for individuals and businesses using UltraTax, including multi-state returns, particularly outside of peak audit season.
  • Respond to client inquiries and notices from taxing authorities, and support IRS, state, and local examinations by gathering documentation and preparing responses.
  • Support bookkeeping and financial reporting for clients using QuickBooks.
  • Research complex auditing, accounting, and tax issues, and monitor regulatory changes to provide practical solutions and ensure compliance with applicable standards.
  • Assist with U.S. federal and state compliance requirements related to client engagements, including year-end reporting and filing support.
  • Work across audit, tax, and accounting engagements throughout the year. This is a hybrid role by design, with audit as the primary focus.

    • 5+ years of experience in auditing, accounting, and/or tax, including experience leading fieldwork and reviewing junior staff work.
    • Comfortable working across audit, tax, and accounting engagements. Candidates seeking an audit-only career path are not likely to be a strong fit for this role.
    • Strong knowledge of US GAAP and generally accepted auditing standards.
    • Public accounting or external audit experience is required.
    • CPA license is preferred; candidates actively pursuing their CPA license with a clear plan toward licensure are also encouraged to apply.
    • Experience with both individual and business tax return preparation as well as full-cycle accounting is a big plus.
    • Experience with Thomson Reuters Engagement, QuickBooks, and UltraTax is a strong plus.
    • IFRS experience is a nice to have.
    • Extensive knowledge of Microsoft Office applications, especially Excel.
    • Ability to conduct sophisticated analysis of complex financial data and identify risk areas.
    • Highly organized, with strong multi-tasking skills and the ability to prioritize in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment.
    • Positive, team-oriented personality with the ability to mentor junior staff.
    • Excellent cross-group collaboration skills.
    • Attention to detail and ability to follow standard procedures.
