Remote Audit Manager | Independent CPA Firm | Up to $170,000 + Bonus

Location: 100% Remote (US-based)

Compensation: Up to $170,000 base + performance bonus

Requirements: 5–6+ years public accounting audit experience | Active CPA required

About Us

We are a Midwest-based, independently owned public accounting and advisory firm with over five decades of history serving privately held businesses, global public companies, entrepreneurs, and high-net-worth individuals across a wide range of commercial industries. With nearly 18% growth over the past two years and a median employee tenure approaching 8 years, we have built something that most firms cannot claim — a firm that grows and retains its people at the same time.

We are nationally recognized, a multiple-time Best Places to Work honoree, and have fully embraced remote work as a real operating model. Our remote professionals lead engagements, develop teams, and make partner. We are hiring an Audit Manager to join our assurance practice in a fully remote capacity — with real client ownership, real visibility, and a clear path forward.

The Opportunity

As an Audit Manager, you will lead financial statement audit engagements across a diverse commercial client base, develop junior staff, and serve as the day-to-day owner of your client relationships. This is not a role where you manage the work while someone else owns the client. You are the face of the engagement — and the firm will invest in you accordingly.

What You Will Do

• Lead and manage financial statement audit engagements from planning through issuance across a diverse commercial client base
• Serve as the primary day-to-day client relationship owner on active engagements
• Review workpapers, lead fieldwork, and ensure engagements are delivered on time and on budget
• Mentor and develop senior associates and staff through the full engagement lifecycle
• Collaborate directly with partners on client strategy and business development
• Apply technical accounting knowledge to complex issues — ASC research, financial reporting matters, and client-specific challenges
• Contribute to firm-wide initiatives including recruiting, thought leadership, and process improvement

What We Are Looking For

• Active CPA required
• 5–6+ years of public accounting audit experience with at least 1–2 years managing engagements or supervising teams
• Strong technical foundation in US GAAP and financial statement auditing across commercial industries
• Strong client-facing communication skills — someone clients trust and want on their engagement
• Experience developing and mentoring audit staff
• Self-directed, accountable, and comfortable leading in a fully remote environment

What Makes This Firm Different

• Independent — No PE, Ever — Independently owned, no merger disruption, no private equity agenda. The culture and client relationships here are protected because leadership has chosen to keep it that way
• Remote That Actually Works — 30+ remote professionals across the country leading engagements, getting promoted, and making partner. You are not an afterthought here
• Fly-Outs That Actually Happen — Pre and post-busy season gatherings, firm-wide trips to top destinations, and remote employee fly-ins for orientation — all covered by the firm. Remote does not mean disconnected
• True Partner Track — We promote from within, we promote remote professionals, and we have the tenure data to back it up. The path from Manager to Partner is real and actively supported
• Growth That Creates Opportunity — Nearly 18% growth over the past two years means real upward mobility — not waiting for someone above you to retire

What We Offer

• Base salary up to $170,000, commensurate with experience
• Performance bonus — typically 10% on average; high performers at 15%
• 100% remote — work from anywhere in the US
• Firm-wide annual trips to top destinations — all expenses paid
• Pre and post-busy season gatherings — remote employees flown in
• Comprehensive medical, dental, vision, and 401(k)
• CPE support and meaningful investment in your professional development
• A culture where contributions are visible and remote professionals advance
