RECRUITER NOTES: This is a backfill opportunity and is currently the TOP priority . The current Sr Audit Manager has decided to return to her previous firm, which is MUCH BIGGER. For this role, they would love it if someone had experience in one of the Big 4 firms (or really any larger firm) where doing audits was their main focus. Roughly 4 years of experience would be ideal, especially if that experience is in a larger firm. This resource will run the audit side - would have 2 direct reports starting out, likely grow to 3 fairly quickly and a couple summer interns also.
- CPA would be a bonus, but not required.
- Ready to see resumes ASAP.
