** WHO WE ARE
** Elliott Davis pairs forward-thinking tax, assurance and consulting services with industry-leading workplace culture. Our nine offices — located in the fastest growing cities in the US — are built on a foundation of inclusivity, collaboration, and collective growth. We work daily to provide exceptional service to our people, customers, and our communities. Audit and assurance services are provided by Elliott Davis, LLC (doing business in NC and D.C. as Elliott Davis, PLLC), a licensed CPA firm.

The CAAS Projects Advisory Senior helps customers solve accounting and finance challenges through hands-on, project-based advisory work. Working alongside experienced Managers and Directors, the Senior owns key work streams, interacts directly with customer teams, and delivers practical solutions that strengthen accounting operations and support business needs.

Engagements may include cash-to-accrual conversions, accounting cleanup and remediation, interim Assistant Controller support, month-end close optimization, accounting process improvement, and ERP or accounting system transitions. No two engagements are exactly alike, providing broad exposure to industries, accounting environments, and business challenges.

This role is ideal for an accounting professional who is naturally curious, takes ownership, enjoys problem solving, and wants to move beyond testing into execution. The Senior will build operational accounting and advisory skills, coach associates, lead portions of engagements with increasing independence, and develop toward a future CAAS Projects Advisory Manager role.## Why This Opportunity Is Different

This role offers the opportunity to move beyond maintaining or reviewing established processes and take a more active role in solving accounting and finance challenges. You will work across a variety of customers and projects, improve operations, and help create practical solutions that fit each organization’s immediate needs. The work combines hands-on execution, meaningful customer interaction, and a clear path to grow as a CAAS advisor and leader.#
