Assurance Manager

As Cohn Reznick grows, so do our career opportunities. As one of the nation's top Professional Services and Business Advisory firms, we foster teams in Advisory, Assurance, and Tax services that value innovation and collaboration in everything they do! We currently have an exciting career opportunity for an Assurance Manager to join the Financial Services team in our Hartford office. 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 alternate time between both remote and office. At Cohn Reznick, we believe in creating the conditions in which everyone can do their best work, collaborate, learn, and build community. This results in our ability to create opportunities for our people, make a difference for our clients, and strengthen our internal and external communities.

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 the 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.

We believe it's important to balance work with everyday life - and make time for enjoyment and fun.
