Job Description

The Audit Senior will take hands-on ownership of audit engagements from planning through completion while working directly with clients and collaborating with Managers and firm leadership. Unlike an environment where a Senior may spend months working on one narrow piece of a large engagement, this role provides exposure to the full audit lifecycle across multiple clients.

Day to day, the Audit Senior will perform audit testing, evaluate internal controls, prepare and review workpapers, draft financial statements and disclosures, document audit findings, and work directly with clients to obtain information and resolve outstanding items. As they progress, they will also review junior staff work, answer questions, and help keep engagements on schedule.

The environment is highly multi-client. The broader firm may touch approximately 50-60 clients throughout the year, and auditors can have several engagements moving simultaneously. The Senior therefore needs to be comfortable shifting between clients, managing competing deadlines, and taking ownership rather than waiting for each task to be assigned.

The role provides exposure to privately held/nonpublic organizations, HUD multifamily entities, LIHTC partnerships, nonprofits, and employee benefit plans. Exact industry experience is not required. The priority is finding someone with a strong public accounting audit foundation, broad engagement exposure, client communication skills, and the ability to manage multiple priorities who wants to continue developing toward the Manager level.
