Job description

Description
The Audit Associate plays a key role in delivering high-quality assurance services to a wide range of clients. This position supports all phases of financial statement audits, reviews, and other attest engagements by performing detailed testing, evaluating internal controls, and contributing to clear, well-supported workpapers. Audit Associates work closely with engagement teams to understand client operations, identify potential risks or issues, and ensure compliance with professional standards. 

This position is designed for individuals who are beginning their public accounting career and are motivated to grow their technical expertise, pursue CPA licensure, and contribute to a collaborative team environment. Success in this role requires strong attention to detail, a commitment to quality, excellent communication skills, and the ability to manage multiple priorities—especially during peak periods. As an Audit Associate, you will receive comprehensive training, mentorship, and exposure to meaningful client work from day one.


Key Responsibilities
  • Assist in planning audit engagements by gathering background information and understanding the client’s business and industry.
  • Perform substantive procedures and audit testing across major financial statement accounts (e.g., cash, revenues, expenses, inventory, fixed assets).
  • Support the testing and evaluation of internal controls, including walkthroughs and documentation of control findings.
  • Prepare clear and organized workpapers that support audit conclusions in accordance with firm policies and professional standards.
  • Assist with analytical procedures to identify trends, variances, and potential areas of risk.
  • Organize and maintain working papers, audit documentation, and support schedules for engagement teams. 
  • Maintain positive working relationships with clients built on reliability, responsiveness, and confidentiality.
  • Support engagement teams with on-site or virtual fieldwork as needed.

Skills, Knowledge and Expertise
  • Current or completed enrollment at an accredited university to pursue a bachelor’s degree with a major or emphasis in Accounting.
  • Master’s degree in Taxation or Accountancy preferred.
  • Expected completion of bachelors or masters degree between December 2026 and June 2027.
  • Minimum accounting GPA of 3.0 preferred.
  • CA CPA eligible.
  • Strong attention to detail and analytical abilities.
  • High level of motivation to learn and produce high-quality work.
  • Effective interpersonal skills with the ability to work collaboratively with colleagues and a sophisticated client base.
  • Ability to work flexibly as part of a team to meet periodic and project-based client deadlines.
  • Prior public accounting experience helpful but not required.
  • Clear and professional verbal and written communication skills.

This role offers a competitive base salary along with a comprehensive benefits package. Salary ranges for U.S.-based positions are determined by geographic location and fall into one of three pay zones, which reflect the cost of labor in that area.
