About the Role

You will be responsible for managing and executing review and audit engagements, ensuring high-quality deliverables and adherence to professional standards. Working closely with partners and staff, you will guide engagement teams, oversee fieldwork, and serve as a primary contact for clients. Your work will directly impact client confidence in their financial reporting and strengthen the firm's reputation for technical excellence and responsive service.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead and manage review engagements (approximately 90% of workload) and audit engagements (approximately 10%) from planning through completion.
  • Supervise engagement teams, assign work, and provide on-the-job coaching and performance feedback.
  • Oversee fieldwork, review working papers, and ensure compliance with professional standards and firm methodology.
  • Coordinate and communicate with clients throughout engagements, addressing issues, timelines, and information requests.
  • Identify accounting and reporting issues, propose practical solutions, and escalate complex matters as needed.
  • Prepare and review financial statements and related reports, ensuring accuracy, clarity, and consistency.
  • Monitor engagement budgets and timelines, adjusting plans to meet deadlines and profitability targets.
  • Contribute to continuous improvement of A&A processes, tools, and documentation within the practice.

Key Requirements

  • Public accounting experience in A&A, with progression through In-Charge, Senior, or Supervisor levels (minimum 2-6+ years depending on level).
  • Strong technical experience with review engagements and solid exposure to audit work.
  • Proven ability to lead engagements, supervise staff, and manage multiple assignments concurrently.
  • Demonstrated success in working effectively within a team and building positive internal relationships.
  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to interact confidently with clients and colleagues.
  • Strong organisational skills and attention to detail in managing documentation and deliverables.
  • Ability to exercise sound judgment and maintain professional scepticism in review and audit work.

Desirable Skills

  • Experience serving construction and/or government contracting (govcon) clients.
  • Background in a diverse range of industries within public accounting.
  • Familiarity with engagement management software and paperless A&A workflows.
  • Experience contributing to staff development through mentoring or informal training.
  • Comfort with presenting findings and recommendations to client management.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a closely related field.
  • CPA certification preferred; active progress toward CPA strongly desired.
  • Additional relevant professional certifications (e.g., CIA, CFE) considered an advantage.
  • Ongoing professional education in accounting and assurance standards expected at this level.

If you're an experienced A&A professional ready to take ownership of review and audit engagements in a collaborative, growth-focused firm, we encourage you to apply.
