Job description
Senior Audit Associate
A high-growth, entrepreneurial leadership and financial advisory firm is expanding its Seattle team and seeking experienced accounting and finance professionals ready to accelerate their careers. This organization partners with Fortune 1000 and large-cap companies to solve complex, high-impact financial challenges—ranging from IPO readiness and M&A to technical accounting and transformation initiatives.
If you want more than a traditional audit path—greater exposure, faster growth, and meaningful client impact—this is designed for you.
What You'll Do
Lead and deliver critical accounting and finance projects for large, complex organizations
Support initiatives such as IPO readiness, mergers & acquisitions, carve-outs, and financial reporting transformations
Apply deep knowledge of U.S. GAAP and Financial Accounting Services Board (FASB) rules and standards
Engage directly with senior stakeholders and finance leaders
Contribute to business development, recruiting, and internal growth initiatives

At least 1–3 busy seasons as a Senior
Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance

Preferred:
CPA or active progress toward certification
Hybrid experience across public accounting + industry or advisory
Experience with large public companies ($500M–$3B+ revenue)
Professional Profile
High-energy, adaptable, and intellectually curious
Strong communication skills with the ability to influence and build trust
Entrepreneurial mindset with interest in expanding beyond traditional audit work
Proven ability to learn quickly and deliver immediate value
Team-oriented with a long-term growth perspective
Travel Requirements
Moderate travel expected (~25–60%), depending on project and client needs.
Primarily within your assigned market (San Francisco Bay Area or Seattle) and surrounding client locations
Flexibility required for on-site client engagements
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
Work on high-impact, strategic projects—not repetitive audit cycles
Exposure to multiple industries and business challenges
Accelerated career growth with broad skill development
A platform that blends leadership advisory + financial expertise
Clear investment in your long-term career trajectory
Compensation & Benefits
Competitive base salary + performance-based incentives (target approximately 40%)
Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage
Generous PTO, paid holidays, and sick leave
401(k) with profit sharing
Professional development and continuing education support
Access to leadership training and career coaching
If you're an audit professional looking to break out of the traditional path and gain broader, more strategic experience, this is your next move.
