Experience: 2–5 years of public accounting audit experience
Join an Employee-Owned CPA Firm
Kirsch CPA Group is a 100% employee-owned CPA firm seeking a Senior Audit Associate to join our growing audit and assurance team.
Through our Employee Stock Ownership Plan / ESOP, eligible employees have the opportunity to share in the success they help create. At Kirsch, you are not just joining another public accounting firm. You are joining a team that values ownership, work-life balance, career growth, and being part of something bigger.
This role is ideal for an audit professional who wants meaningful client work, leadership opportunities, and a long-term path forward without sacrificing balance.
Why This Role Stands Out
Public accounting can be demanding. We believe it should also be sustainable, rewarding, and connected to your future.
At Kirsch CPA Group, you’ll find:
  • Employee ownership through our ESOP
  • Competitive pay and strong benefits
  • Work-life balance and flexible scheduling
  • Work-from-home options
  • Summer Fridays with reduced hours
  • Manageable busy season expectations
  • Career coaching through our THRIVE development program
  • Direct access to firm leaders
  • A collaborative, transparent team culture
You will have the opportunity to grow your career, lead client work, mentor staff, and help build a firm where your contributions matter.
What You’ll Do
As a Senior Audit Associate, you will lead and support audit, review, compilation, and assurance engagements for privately held businesses, family-owned companies, nonprofits, and growing organizations.
Responsibilities include:
  • Lead audit, review, and assurance engagement work
  • Plan and coordinate phases of client engagements
  • Prepare and review audit workpapers and financial statements
  • Identify audit risks, accounting issues, and improvement opportunities
  • Build trusted client relationships through clear communication
  • Supervise, mentor, and review staff accountants
  • Collaborate with managers and partners on engagement strategy
  • Stay current on audit standards, accounting guidance, and industry trends
What We’re Looking For
Required
  • 2–5 years of public accounting audit experience
  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or related field
  • Experience with audit, review, compilation, or assurance engagements
  • Strong understanding of audit methodology and financial statements
  • Ability to manage multiple engagements and deadlines
  • Strong attention to detail and professional communication skills
  • Client service mindset and desire to grow
Preferred
  • CPA license or active progress toward CPA certification
  • Experience supervising or reviewing staff work
  • Experience with privately held companies, family-owned businesses, or nonprofit clients
  • Strong Excel and Microsoft Office skills
  • Monthly accounting or QuickBooks Online experience is a plus
Benefits That Matter
  • Competitive salary
  • Comprehensive healthcare benefits
  • ESOP / employee ownership opportunity
  • Retirement plan
  • Generous PTO
  • Maternity and parental leave
  • Flexible scheduling
  • Work-from-home options
  • Summer Fridays with reduced hours
  • Professional development and career coaching
Be Part of Something Bigger
At larger firms, it can be easy to feel like one of many. At smaller firms, growth can feel limited.
Kirsch CPA Group offers meaningful client exposure, leadership access, career development, and the opportunity to make a visible impact. Through our THRIVE Program, you’ll receive coaching, support, and a clearer path for advancement.
If you are a Senior Audit Associate who wants more ownership, more balance, more growth, and more purpose in your public accounting career, we’d love to talk.
