Seasonal Audit Manager
Grant ThorntonAbout the role
Seasonal Audit Manager Van-life traveler + on-the-go accountant
Busy parent + busier auditor
Avid gardener + growth-minded CPA
Many combinations go against expectations for the type of career you can have in professional services. We’re here to meet and then go beyond those expectations, with the seasonal audit senior associate role that lets you pursue passions instead of promotions.
Our seasonal audit managers know what they are looking for in an accounting career: flexibility. These managers are brought in during the firm’s busy seasons, or other short-term periods driven by business need, to uphold standards, run client engagements and collaborate closely with staff across all parts of the engagement, and for multiple clients.
Here, you’re also more than “seasonal” – you’re part of the team. Beyond flexibility, we offer an experience that is more supportive and inclusive, where you will like the people and clients you’re working with and value the relationships you’re able to develop.
Your day-to-day may include:
- Overseeing and supporting multiple engagement teams concurrently to complete financial statement audits
- Consistently listening and communicating with clients about engagement and service expectations; resolving technical and service issues quickly and thoroughly
- Training and supervising less experienced colleagues and providing consistent, regular feedback
- Being a proactive problem solver and sought-after business adviser to your clients on a variety of business improvement areas
- Working at a client site, with your team in the office or remotely. We empower teams to listen first to expectations of clients and teammates; then you and your team can determine when and where to work. No matter when or where, you will have the support you need to thrive
- Building your technical and professional skills through formal training
- Other duties as assigned
You have the following technical skills, qualifications and abilities:
- Bachelor’s degree in accounting, economics, finance, mathematics, or related disciplines
- Minimum of five years of progressive public accounting experience with a mid-sized to large firm
- An active CPA license (required)
- Analytical, technical, and auditing skills, including proficiency in US GAAP, GAAS, and PCAOB rules and standards
- Can manage multiple engagements and competing priorities
- Value teamwork, are agile and know the power of building strong relationships
- Are curious about or have exposure to automation and digitization tools as part of audits or in the professional services environment
- Designing a schedule that works for you and for your clients (one client or multiple clients)
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills
