Seasonal Audit Senior Associate

Full job description
Van-life traveler + on-the-go accountant

Busy parent + busier auditor

Avid gardener + growth-minded CPA

Many combinations go against expectations for the type of career you can have in professional services. We’re here to meet and then go beyond those expectations with the seasonal audit senior associate role that lets you pursue passions instead of promotions.

As a Seasonal Audit Senior Associate, you are brought in during the firm’s busy seasons, or other short-term periods driven by business need, to learn about your client’s operations, processes, business objectives, and risks, and apply that knowledge to enhance the financial statement audit — all with the resources and flexibility to help you excel. Here, you’re also more than “seasonal” – you’re part of the team. Beyond flexibility, we offer an experience that is more supportive and inclusive, where you will like the people and clients you’re working with and value the relationships you’re able to develop.

Listening and communicating clearly with clients about engagement expectations, as well as informing them about accounting, financial and regulatory developments that may affect their organization
Planning, executing and completing financial statement audits while managing the budget; performing an in-charge role as needed
Working with the team to design audit procedures using audit technology and innovation tools. Researching accounting auditing matters and documenting conclusions
Training and supervising audit associates and interns and providing feedback
Working at a client site, with your team in the office or remotely. We empower teams to listen first to expectations of clients and teammates; then you and your team can determine when and where to work. No matter when or where, you will have the support you need to thrive
Building your technical and professional skills through formal training
