About Us
We are a Midwest-based, independently owned public accounting and advisory firm with over five decades of history — and we have grown nearly 18% over the past two years while maintaining a median employee tenure approaching 8 years. Growth and retention at the same time. Most firms cannot say that.
We are nationally recognized, a multiple-time Best Places to Work honoree, and have built a remote culture that is not a compromise — it is how we actually operate. Our remote professionals lead engagements, get promoted, and make partner. We are hiring an Audit Manager to join our assurance practice fully remotely.
What You Will Do
- Lead financial statement audit engagements across a diverse commercial client base from planning through issuance
- Own the day-to-day client relationship — you are the face of the engagement, not a layer removed from it
- Review workpapers, lead fieldwork, and ensure engagements are delivered on time and on budget
- Mentor and develop senior associates and staff
- Collaborate directly with partners on client strategy and business development
- Apply technical knowledge to complex accounting 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
What We Offer
- Base salary up to $160,000, 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
- New hire orientation in Chicago — hotel and travel fully covered
- Comprehensive medical, dental, vision, and 401(k)
- CPE support and meaningful investment in your professional development
- A firm where remote professionals lead, advance, and make partner
