overview
we are a newly launched us-based cpa firm specializing in audit and assurance services across construction companies, employee benefit plans, and nonprofits. We work lean, move fast, and use ai heavily in our day-to-day workflows.
we are looking for a accountant to join our team and report directly to our senior contractor. This is not a bookkeeping role, we need someone with solid accounting fundamentals and a higher-level understanding of us gaap who is hungry for experience, comfortable with ambiguity, and genuinely excited to learn something new every day. The right person brings the foundation; we will build the rest together.
key responsibilities
- support audit and assurance engagements across multiple industries: construction, employee benefit plans, and nonprofits.
- work with financial reports and data outside of client systems — pulling, organizing, and analyzing the right information rather than working directly in client accounting software.
- build and maintain excel workpapers: pivot tables, vlookups, and structured data analysis to support audit testing and reporting.
- use ai tools (claude, chatgpt, or similar) to build spreadsheets, review work, and streamline workflow — you are expected to use ai to work smarter, then review the output critically.
- apply audit testing templates and workflows provided by the team — adapting and improving them as you gain experience.
- manage multiple concurrent engagements with strong organization and attention to detail.
- communicate proactively: flag questions early, keep the team informed, and ask for help before a deadline is at risk.
main qualifications
- must-have: 2–4 years of accounting experience — solid fundamentals, full accounting cycle knowledge, above bookkeeper level.
- working knowledge of us gaap — you do not need to be an expert, but you need a real foundation. This will be tested in the interview.
- advanced excel: comfortable with pivot tables and vlookups at minimum. We use ai to complement excel, not replace it.
- comfortable using ai tools in real workflows (claude) — not just awareness, but presente hands-on use. You will be asked to demonstrate this during screening.
- self-directed and output-driven — there are no set hours here. You are accountable for getting the work done and done well.
- strong written and spoken english — you will communicate directly with the team and occasionally with clients.
- willing to learn: every engagement brings something new. If that excites you, you will thrive here.
nice to have
- experience in audit, assurance, or working within a cpa or public accounting firm environment.
- exposure to any of our core industries: construction accounting, employee benefit plans, or nonprofits.
- familiarity with auditfile or similar audit software — not expected, but a bonus.
