## Responsibilities

- Lead audit engagements from risk assessment and planning through fieldwork, completion, and reporting.
- Support the onboarding process for new audit clients, ensuring a smooth transition and clear setup of audit workflows and documentation.
- Review workpapers and audit documentation prepared by junior staff and provide technical guidance, feedback, and mentorship.
- Perform and evaluate substantive testing and analytical procedures to assess the accuracy and completeness of financial statements.
- Use Thomson Reuters Engagement to manage audit workpapers, reporting, and compliance-related tasks with accuracy and efficiency.
- Prepare and review audit schedules, management letters, reconciliations, and other audit documentation in line with professional standards.
- Analyze financial data to identify trends, anomalies, and areas of risk that require further audit attention.
- Prepare and review federal and state tax returns for individuals and businesses using UltraTax, including multi-state returns, particularly outside of peak audit season.
- Respond to client inquiries and notices from taxing authorities, and support IRS, state, and local examinations by gathering documentation and preparing responses.
- Support bookkeeping and financial reporting for clients using QuickBooks.
- Research complex auditing, accounting, and tax issues, and monitor regulatory changes to provide practical solutions and ensure compliance with applicable standards.
- Assist with U.S. federal and state compliance requirements related to client engagements, including year-end reporting and filing support.
- Work across audit, tax, and accounting engagements throughout the year. This is a hybrid role by design, with audit as the primary focus.

- Positive, team-oriented personality with the ability to mentor junior staff.
- Excellent cross-group collaboration skills.
- Attention to detail and ability to follow standard procedures.
