Overview:

This full-time, in-office opportunity offers a salary up to $80,000, depending on experience and the chance to take ownership of audit, review, and compilation engagements from planning through completion.

The Senior Auditor will work closely with experienced leadership while helping strengthen an evolving audit department. The team handles a range of attest engagements, including Chapter 13 and 401(k) audits, with meaningful work continuing through the summer.

• Identify significant engagement risks, evaluate internal controls, and assess operational effectiveness.
• Research and apply relevant guidance from the AICPA, FASB, GASB, and GAO.
• Serve as the day-to-day client contact, review staff workpapers, and supervise and mentor staff and interns.
• Manage engagement budgets, deadlines, and confidential client information while maintaining quality standards.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting; with intention to get CPA preferred.
• At least 1 - 3 years of public accounting experience focused on audit or assurance; senior-level independence strongly desired.
• Strong knowledge of U.S. GAAP, GAAS, and audit engagement software such as ProSystem fx Engagement, Engagement Manager, Caseware, or similar.
• Ability to recognize engagement risks and independently manage work with guidance rather than continuous oversight.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, written and verbal communication, and time-management skills.
• Willingness to work on-site in Amherst five days per week, including 55 to 60 hours per week and mandatory Saturdays during busy season.

Benefits:

• Opportunity for advancement as the audit department develops.
• Exposure to full-cycle engagements and a variety of attest work.
• Investment in developing staff training and mentorship.
