Job description
Most Audit Manager opportunities revolve around managing engagements, reviewing workpapers, and getting through busy season. This one gives you a much bigger seat at the table.
A growing public accounting and advisory firm is looking to add an Audit & Assurance Manager to its team. This is an opportunity for someone who has already proven they can run engagements and is ready to have more influence across clients, people, and the broader practice.
You'll own key client relationships, lead complex engagements from planning through issuance, develop Seniors and Staff, and work directly with firm leadership on the accounting, reporting, and business issues that matter most to clients.
The opportunity isn't simply to manage more work. It's to become a stronger advisor, build deeper client relationships, develop the next generation of talent, and start contributing to the growth of the practice itself.
What you'll be doing:
Lead audit, review, and assurance engagements from planning through completion and final issuance
Serve as a primary point of contact for clients, building relationships with CFOs, Controllers, business owners, and senior management
Understand the business behind the financial statements and advise clients on complex accounting, reporting, internal control, and operational matters
Lead engagement strategy, risk assessment, audit execution, financial statement preparation, and resolution of complex technical issues
Review financial statements, disclosures, workpapers, and engagement documentation while maintaining a high standard of audit quality
Manage engagement economics, including budgets, realization, staffing, scheduling, deadlines, and overall profitability
Identify issues early, develop practical solutions, and communicate recommendations directly to clients and firm leadership
Research and apply complex GAAP, GAAS, and evolving accounting and auditing guidance
Lead, coach, and develop Seniors and Staff while creating clear accountability across engagement teams
Make staffing and delegation decisions that balance professional development with engagement efficiency
Identify opportunities to strengthen client relationships and introduce additional assurance, accounting, and advisory services
Participate in practice development, recruiting, internal initiatives, and other efforts that contribute to the growth of the firm
Become a resource clients rely on throughout the year—not simply when the audit starts
What you'll bring:
5+ years of progressive public accounting audit and assurance experience
Current Audit Manager experience or demonstrated experience operating at the Manager level
Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field
CPA strongly preferred
Strong command of GAAP, GAAS, financial reporting, risk assessment, internal controls, and audit methodology
Proven experience leading engagements from planning through issuance
Experience managing engagement budgets, staffing, deadlines, realization, and multiple client relationships simultaneously
Ability to review complex financial statements and audit documentation while providing clear technical direction to engagement teams
Confidence working directly with CFOs, Controllers, business owners, and other senior client leadership
Demonstrated success coaching, developing, and reviewing the work of Seniors and Staff
Experience with privately held businesses, nonprofits, middle-market companies, or a diverse client portfolio is valuable
Exposure to SOX, SOC, internal audit, fraud risk assessment, technical accounting, or other advisory services is a plus
Commercial mindset with an interest in expanding client relationships and contributing to practice growth
Why this one is worth a conversation:
At a lot of firms, making Manager means inheriting more engagements, more review responsibility, and more pressure without materially changing your role.
This opportunity is about more influence—not simply more volume.
You'll own relationships, develop people, have a voice in the decisions behind the engagement, and become increasingly involved in growing client relationships and the broader practice.
If you've already proven you can run the work and you're ready for a platform that lets you build beyond it, I'd be happy to share more confidentially.
