Audit Manager - Nonprofit Services

Leave Corporate Accounting Behind. Come Make an Impact.

Have recent mergers, acquisitions, or private equity ownership changed what you love about public accounting? Are you looking for a place where your work matters, your clients know your name, and your contributions are genuinely valued?

Smith, Sullivan & Brown is a locally owned CPA firm dedicated to serving nonprofit organizations that strengthen our communities. We're growing and looking for an experienced Audit Manager who wants meaningful work, strong client relationships, and a supportive team culture.

Here, you'll do more than complete audits. You'll help organizations tell their stories, strengthen their operations, and fulfill their missions. You'll work alongside professionals who care about each other, enjoy what they do, and believe that a successful career should leave room for family, friends, hobbies, and life outside the office.

We prefer a hybrid work arrangement, but we're open to fully remote candidates who are the right fit for our team.

If you're ready to be part of a firm where both your colleagues and clients truly appreciate your expertise, we'd love to talk with you.

As an Audit Manager, you'll work closely with nonprofit organizations and lead audit engagements from planning through final presentation. Our clients view us as trusted advisors, not just compliance providers, and they rely on us for guidance throughout the year.

Salary Range: $100,000- $150,000 annually, depending on experience, credentials, nonprofit audit expertise, and leadership responsibilities.

We believe great client service starts with taking care of our people. That's why we offer flexibility, professional growth opportunities, and a culture where individuals are respected and recognized for their contributions.
