Audit Manager

Brief Description Audit Manager

West Des Moines, IA | $110,000–$130,000

Hybrid flexibility

At Haga Kommer, we believe great Audit Managers do more than oversee engagements. They become trusted advisors to clients, develop strong teams, and help businesses and organizations understand what their financial information is telling them.

HK offers a unique opportunity to be part of an integrated financial ecosystem. Employees can work alongside professionals across CPA/accounting, banking, wealth management, insurance, and legal services, creating broader exposure and career opportunities than a traditional standalone firm.

We're looking for an experienced CPA who is ready to take ownership of client relationships, lead complex audit engagements, develop people, and play a meaningful role in the continued growth of our West Des Moines practice. You'll lead audit engagements from planning through final reporting while serving as a primary point of contact for clients.

• Active CPA license
• Progressive public accounting experience with a strong focus on audit
• Proven experience leading and managing audit engagements and teams
• Experience serving nonprofit, privately held, construction, and/or governmental clients
• Strong understanding of accounting principles, auditing standards, internal controls, and regulatory requirements
• Ability to independently plan, manage, execute, review, and complete audit engagements
• Experience developing audit plans, assigning work, reviewing documentation, and managing engagement budgets
• Ability to clearly communicate audit findings, recommendations, and complex accounting matters to clients
• Strong client relationship skills and an advisory mindset

Own something. Build your career. Work across something bigger. Have a life. Help shape what’s next.

Our culture is grounded in Competence, Character, Teamwork, Openness to Change, and Kindness. We empower you to:
Build relationships. Grow as a leader. Share in what you help build.

We're building Haga Kommer for the long term, and we believe the people helping build our future should have the opportunity to benefit from its success. Haga Kommer is working toward an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), creating a path for employees to share in the value they help create.

We're embracing AI and modern technology to reduce repetitive work, improve research and analysis, and create more time for the work that matters most…solving problems and advising clients! You'll have the opportunity to work with evolving technology and help shape how innovation is applied within the firm. HK encourages employees to rethink traditional processes, improve how work gets done, and participate in building the future of the firm.

You shouldn’t have to leave a firm to keep growing. At Haga Kommer, employees aren’t locked into one traditional career path. The goal is simple:
Have a real path to becoming one of the people helping lead the firm. Strong performers get the chance to take on bigger clients, lead more complex work, mentor others, and move into management as they’re ready. You'll join a growing organization where you can have a voice and shape your career.

How do we do this?

• Continuing education and certification reimbursement
• Leadership academy/development training

Build a meaningful career without missing the life you're building it for.

We recognize that work and life naturally weave together. Professional success shouldn't require sacrificing the relationships, experiences, and quality of life that matter most. We work hard, take exceptional care of our clients, and believe our people should still have space to be present for life outside of work. HK employees are supported by flexibility, summer hours, and a culture focused on sustainable performance rather than constant burnout.

How do we do this?

• Hybrid Flexibility
• Generous PTO with eligibility for flexible/unlimited PTO
• Volunteer paid time off
• Paid parental leave
• Medical, dental, vision, disability, AD&D, and life insurance
• 401(k) with 3% Safe Harbor contribution
