Job Description & How to Apply Below

Not everyone wants the same career path, and this firm doesn’t expect you to.

Whether you’re already working in CAS or you’re an Audit Senior who enjoys the client side of the job but wants to move into something more advisory and hands on, they’re open to different backgrounds.

If you want to progress, promotions are based on merit rather than how many years you’ve spent at a certain level. If management isn’t your goal, you can build your career around becoming a specialist, different client types or the areas of CAS you enjoy most.

They’re much more interested in playing to people’s strengths than pushing everyone up the same ladder.

You’ll be joining a growing CAS team within an established mid sized CPA firm. It's growing and continues to expand its service lines, creating plenty of opportunity internally as it grows.

The work itself is varied. You’ll work directly with clients, getting involved in their accounting and helping them improve processes, reporting and the way their finance function operates.

Your work could include:

  • Month end close and financial statement preparation
  • Accounting advisory and remediation projects
  • Implementing new accounting processes and procedures
  • US GAAP conversions
  • Client training on new processes and accounting principles
  • Accounting support around audits and transaction projects
  • Supporting wider accounting needs across AP, AR, payroll and reconciliations

As you get to know the clients and the team gets to know you, there’s flexibility to lean further into the projects, industries and areas of CAS that suit your strengths.

What are they looking for?
  • 3+ years of accounting experience
  • Public accounting experience essential
  • CPA or CPA eligible
  • Someone who enjoys problem solving and working directly with clients

This is a firm that has grown consistently without trying to turn everyone into the same type of accountant. So whether your goal is progression, becoming a specialist or simply finding the areas of client work you’re best at, there’s room to shape the role as you develop.

Here’s the part most people get wrong: you don’t need to tick every box to introduce yourself.
