    Job Description

    Senior Audit Associate
    West Hartford, CT


    We are seeking a Senior Audit Associate to join a highly respected and growing organization where talented professionals are valued, supported, and given the opportunity to build meaningful careers.


    This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced audit professional who wants to continue developing their career without sacrificing work-life balance. Unlike many traditional public accounting environments, this role offers a consistent, predictable schedule, a collaborative team culture, and a strong commitment to maintaining reasonable workloads throughout the year.


    You’ll work alongside talented accounting and finance professionals, take ownership of important engagements, and have the opportunity to make an impact while enjoying a workplace that respects your time outside of work.


    What You’ll Do



    • Lead and perform audit engagements from planning through completion

    • Prepare and review audit workpapers, financial statements, and supporting documentation

    • Evaluate internal controls, accounting processes, and financial reporting

    • Identify accounting and audit issues and develop appropriate solutions

    • Work directly with clients and internal stakeholders to gather information and resolve questions

    • Review the work of Staff and other Associates and provide constructive feedback

    • Assist with complex accounting and technical research as needed

    • Help ensure engagements are completed accurately, efficiently, and in accordance with applicable professional standards

    • Develop strong relationships with clients and serve as a trusted resource

    • Contribute ideas and process improvements to strengthen the audit function

    • Support and mentor less-experienced team members


    What We’re Looking For



    • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field

    • 3+ years of audit experience, preferably within a public accounting environment

    • Strong understanding of US GAAP and auditing standards

    • Experience managing multiple engagements and competing priorities

    • Strong analytical, organizational, and communication skills

    • Ability to work independently while collaborating effectively with a team

    • High attention to detail and a commitment to producing quality work

    • CPA or progress toward CPA certification is preferred


    Why You’ll Enjoy Working Here



    • Genuine work-life balance — we believe great work shouldn’t require sacrificing your personal life

    • Consistent schedule — predictable hours and a thoughtful approach to workload management

    • Limited late nights and weekend work compared with traditional audit environments

    • Collaborative, supportive culture where team members help each other succeed

    • Strong leadership that values employees and recognizes contributions

    • Career growth opportunities with room to take on additional responsibility and advance

    • Meaningful work and exposure to a variety of accounting and financial matters

    • Competitive compensation and benefits

    • A professional environment that combines the quality and challenge of audit work with a much healthier day-to-day pace
