Remote Audit Manager | Independent CPA Firm | Up to $175,000 + Bonus
Location: 100% Remote (US-based)
Compensation: Up to $175,000 base + performance bonus
Requirements: 5-7+ years public accounting audit experience | Active CPA required
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. We have grown consistently and deliberately, with nearly 18% growth over the past two years and a median employee tenure approaching 8 years. That combination — growth and retention — is not something most firms can claim at the same time.
We are nationally recognized, multiple-time Best Places to Work honoree, and we have fully embraced remote work as a real operating model — not a compromise. 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.
Why This Role Stands Out
- Not Big 4 — And That Is the Point — Large enough to offer the client complexity, technical depth, and career infrastructure of a top-tier firm. Independent enough to move fast, reward high performers, and make decisions that are genuinely good for our people
- Real Remote Culture — 30+ remote professionals across the country. Remote employees lead engagements, get promoted, and make partner. You are not an afterthought here
- Fly-Outs That Actually Happen — Pre and post-busy season gatherings, firm-wide trips to destinations like Turks & Caicos, and remote employee fly-ins for orientation — all covered by the firm. Remote does not mean disconnected here
- True Partner Track — We promote from within, we promote remote professionals, and we have the tenure data to back it up
- No PE — Ever — Independently owned, no merger disruption, no private equity agenda. The culture and client relationships here are protected
- Client Ownership From Day One — You are the face of the engagement — not a layer removed from it. Partners are accessible, hands-on, and genuinely invested in your development
What You Will Do
- Lead and manage financial statement audit engagements from planning through issuance across a general commercial client base
- Serve as the 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 staff and senior associates
- 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
What We Are Looking For
- Active CPA required
- 5-7+ 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
- Self-directed and comfortable working in a remote-first environment with distributed teams
What We Offer
- Base salary up to $175,000, commensurate with experience
- Performance bonus
- 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
