Assurance Senior Associate Financial Services Group

Job Description

As Cohn Reznick grows, so do our career opportunities. As one of the nation’s top professional services firms, Cohn Reznick creates rewarding careers in advisory, assurance, and tax with team members who value innovation and collaboration in everything they do!

Cohn Reznick helps organizations optimize performance, manage risk, and maximize value through Cohn Reznick LLP (assurance services) and Cohn Reznick Advisory LLC (advisory and tax services). Together, the firm provides leaders with deep industry knowledge and relationships, solutions to address clients’ unique business goals and risks, and insight on how emerging market forces can drive opportunity. With offices nationwide, the firm serves organizations around the world as an independent member of Nexia.

We currently have an exciting career opportunity for an Assurance Senior Associate to join our Financial Services team in our Hartford office for remote and in office roles.

Cohn Reznick is a hybrid firm and most of our professionals are located within a commutable distance to one of our offices. This position is considered hybrid, which means team members are expected to be thoughtful and intentional in how they create opportunities for in-person collaboration. While the cadence of in‑office presence is determined at the team level, our professionals are encouraged to be in the office together on average 3 days a week.

As part of the Financial Sponsors & Financial Services team, you’ll work with some of the nation’s leading private equity, venture capital, hedge, real estate, cannabis, private credit, and other alternative investment funds. You’ll gain valuable knowledge of the capital markets ecosystem and use it to deliver comprehensive transaction, fund, and portfolio company audit, tax, and value‑creation solutions.

As a result of the unique organizational structure of most private investment funds, you’ll collaborate with other Cohn Reznick industry and service line team members to deliver outstanding technical and client service. Located in almost every financial center across the United States—New York, Connecticut, California, Chicago, Boston, Dallas, Denver, Miami, and more—our clients deploy billions of dollars of capital and expect situation‑tested expertise, industry knowledge, access to market intelligence, and timely response to questions and requests.

At Cohn Reznick, we’re united by a common mission to create opportunity, value, and trust for our clients, our people, and our communities. Whether it’s working alongside your peers to solve a client challenge, or volunteering together at the local food bank, there are many ways to find your “why” at the firm.

We believe it’s important to balance work with everyday life—and make time for enjoyment and fun. We invest in a robust Total Rewards package that includes generous PTO, a flexible work environment, expanded parental leave, extensive learning & development, and even paid time off for employees to volunteer.

• Serving as the engagement lead on specific client accounts, taking responsibility for pre‑engagement planning, execution, and final deliverables.
• Developing detailed engagement work plans, illustrating budgets and schedules.
• Continuing to build a thorough understanding of all audits, tax and consulting services provided by the firm, and actively participating in proposals.
• Managing a team of staff associates, including interns, and providing regular performance coaching and feedback while developing individual technical and industry skills.
• Executing effective client management, timely and accurate communication, and clear and concise direction and leadership.

• Bachelor's or Master's in Accounting required
• CPA designation is required
• 3+ years’ experience in a public accounting firm required
• Financial Services industry experience preferred, but not required
• Knowledge of audit software Pro System Fx a plus
