A QUICK NOTE BEFORE YOU SCROLL

This role is built for someone who wants to lead fieldwork, take on real client contact, and start building the review skills that lead to supervisor and manager.

• Fieldwork. Lead day-to-day fieldwork on site or remotely. Perform and review testing in areas such as revenue, payroll, fixed assets, and debt, and direct staff accountants on their tasks.
