These accolades highlight how our firm is managed and reflect our commitment to fostering a supportive and dynamic environment—one that nurtures career growth and provides long-term opportunities for advancement, leadership, and potential ownership.

Opportunity:

We are currently seeking a Manager with five plus years of experience (public accounting preferred) to work within our Investigative Accounting Group. We offer a flexible, hybrid work environment.

The majority of our engagements involve working with commercial property insurers to evaluate physical damage and business income losses suffered by businesses as a result of catastrophic events. Projects may include reviewing and analyzing historical financial and industry information, revenue and expense projections, insurance claim evaluations, economic damage evaluations, fraud and fidelity, and forensic examinations. Assignments provide exposure to a wide range of industries from small local retail stores to multinational entities. In addition, we provide expertise to insurers and attorneys across a vast array of areas including fraud services, litigation support, dispute resolution, and catastrophic response.
In this role, the Forensic Accounting Manager will have a number of responsibilities, including, but not limited to:

  • Managing multiple, concurrent assignments
  • Supervising the analysis and schedule preparation of staff
  • Building solid technical accounting skills, as well as an understanding of complex property damage, business interruption, and extra expense claims
  • Developing business contacts and networking

Successful individuals in this position are naturally outgoing, self-motivated, possess strong communication and analytical skills, and enjoy a wide variety of work experiences and challenges.
To be considered for this position, candidates must:

  • Hold a Bachelor or advanced degree (Accounting or Finance preferred)
  • CPA license preferred but not required
  • Be proficient in Microsoft Office (particularly Microsoft Excel)
  • Possess exceptional verbal and written communication skills
  • Travel overnight, as needed (approximately 20%)

Our Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion:

Our human capital is the most valuable asset we have. The collective sum of the individual differences, life experiences, knowledge, inventiveness, innovation, self-expression, unique capabilities and talent that our employees invest in their work represents a significant part of not only our culture, but our reputation and company’s achievement as well.

We embrace and encourage our employees’ differences in age, color, disability, ethnicity, family or marital status, gender identity or expression, language, national origin, physical and mental ability, political affiliation, race, religion, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, veteran status, and other characteristics that make our employees unique.

Benefits/Compensation:

Determining actual compensation relies on many factors including individual candidate experience, qualifications, and comparable benchmarks. Base compensation for this role typically ranges between $110,000 and $140,000. Additionally, we offer a generous incentive program and various other bonus opportunities which reward exceptional performance.

We also offer a comprehensive benefits package that includes your choice of medical programs, generous PTO and holidays, 401k matching, profit sharing, various perks, and several bonus opportunities.
