Senior Audit Associate – Public Accounting

IFG US is seeking talented Senior Audit Associates on behalf of a well-established, growth-focused public accounting firm.

This is an excellent opportunity for experienced audit professionals who want to advance their careers while maintaining balance and working in a genuinely collaborative environment.

Why This Firm Stands Out

  • Growth-minded culture – Professional development and advancement are top priorities.
  • Relationship-driven – Leadership and peers alike foster strong connections with each other and their clients.
  • Better balance – Enjoy diverse client exposure and visibility to firm leaders without the grind of traditional long-hour environments.
  • Collaborative, team-first approach – Work alongside supportive colleagues who value sharing knowledge and celebrating success.

The Role

As a Senior Audit Associate, you’ll work closely with audit managers and firm leadership to deliver exceptional client service. You’ll play a hands-on role in leading projects, managing key engagement tasks, and supporting business development efforts. Your contributions will have a direct impact on client outcomes and the firm’s success.

What You’ll Do

  • Lead portions of audit and assurance engagements, guiding staff and supporting managers.
  • Oversee and complete essential engagement tasks, from planning to execution.
  • Build strong client relationships through effective communication and service delivery.
  • Contribute to team development by mentoring junior staff.
  • Collaborate with leadership on strategic initiatives and firm growth.

What We’re Looking For

  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting (Master’s preferred).
  • CPA license or active CPA-eligibility required.
  • Minimum of 3 years in public accounting, including at least one busy season in a senior/supervisor role.
  • Audit/assurance experience in industries such as construction, manufacturing/distribution, technology, or M&A strongly preferred.
  • Strong analytical, organizational, and project management skills.
  • Excellent communication skills and the ability to build trusted client relationships.
  • Commitment to continuous learning, professional ethics, and high-quality results.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office and audit/accounting software.
