The ideal candidate has one to two years of audit experience, though recent accounting graduates and candidates with up to four years of experience will be considered.

Communicate directly with clients to obtain documentation and resolve accounting questions
Manage multiple assignments and deadlines during busy periods, and assist with tax work as needed
Ideal profile
Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field
Audit experience strongly preferred; public accounting experience is a plus
Roughly zero to four years of professional experience, with one to two years of audit experience ideal; recent graduates with a strong interest in audit are encouraged to apply
Understanding of accounting principles, financial reporting, and audit concepts
Strong attention to detail and organizational skills
Professional communication with clients and colleagues
Comfortable in an on-site, collaborative environment
Nice to have: experience auditing nonprofit organizations, a CPA license or progress toward the exam, exposure to tax preparation, and experience with CCH or similar public accounting software.
Compensation & benefits
Base salary of $60,000 to $80,000 or more depending on experience and credentials, four weeks of PTO from day one, a SIMPLE IRA with a 3% employer match, flexible hours, 3 p.m. Fridays during the summer, potential assistance with CPA exam expenses, and direct access to experienced partners.
How to apply
Three ways to start the conversation.
Send your résumé, book a call, or apply straight from the LinkedIn posting. Whichever route you pick, one person handles your application from first reply to offer.
