Job Description
Audit Senior
We are looking for an Audit Senior to join our mid-sized CPA firm in Norwalk, CT. We are adding to a team that deliberately rejects the burnout culture of big public accounting - offering direct partner access, genuine mentorship, and a clearly lit path to Audit Manager.
What You'll Do
- Engagement Leadership: Lead, plan, and execute financial statement audits, reviews, and compilations from start to finish for private companies and select nonprofit organizations.
- Fieldwork Management: Perform testing, document internal controls, identify accounting issues, and manage the daily flow of audit fieldwork directly at client sites or in-office.
- Financial Reporting: Draft GAAP-compliant financial statements, disclosures, and management letter comments for partner review.
- Team Leadership: Mentor, train, and review the work product of junior associates and interns, raising team quality and confidence.
- Client Engagement: Serve as a primary client contact during fieldwork: field day-to-day questions, gather audit evidence, and translate complex accounting issues into plain language.
- Workflow Optimization: Identify opportunities to streamline audit procedures, improve testing efficiencies, and flag internal control gaps to leadership.
What You Need
- Experience: 3+ years of progressive financial audit experience inside a public accounting firm.
- Diverse Skillset: Hands-on experience executing private company audits across various industries, alongside exposure to nonprofit accounting and compliance.
- Technical Proficiency: Deep understanding of US GAAP, GAAS, and audit software platforms (e.g., CCH Engagement, AdvanceFlow, or equivalent).
- Location Presence: Ability to work full-time on-site at our Norwalk, CT office and travel locally to client sites as required.
- Communication: Strong written and verbal communication skills for direct client relationship management.
Nice to Have
- Credentials: Active CPA license or actively sitting for the CPA exam (firm covers exam fees and study support).
- Specialized Knowledge: Familiarity with nonprofit-specific audit standards, including Single Audits (Uniform Guidance).
- Process Improvement: Track record of process-improvement initiatives within an audit or accounting department.
Pay & Benefits
- Base Salary: $100,000-$120,000 depending on experience and CPA credential status.
- Bonus: Performance-based bonus program targeting an additional 5% to 15% of base salary annually.
- Health: Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision with generous firm cost-sharing.
- Retirement: 401(k) with a 4% company match.
- PTO: 20 days flexible PTO + paid holidays + post-busy-season rest days.
