Remote Audit Manager | Independent CPA Firm | Up to $175k + Bonus

Location: 100% Remote (US-based)

Compensation: Up to $175,000 base + performance bonus

Requirements:

• 5-7+ years public accounting audit experience
• Active CPA required

We are a Midwest-based, independently owned public accounting and advisory firm with over five decades of history — serving privately held businesses, global public companies, entrepreneurs, and high-net-worth individuals across a wide range of commercial industries. We have grown consistently and deliberately, with nearly 18% growth over the past two years and a median employee tenure approaching 8 years. That combination — growth and retention — is not something most firms can claim at the same time. We are nationally recognized, multiple-time Best Places to Work honoree, and we have fully embraced remote work as a real operating model — not a compromise.

Our remote professionals lead engagements, develop teams, and make partner. We are hiring an Audit Manager to join our assurance practice in a fully remote capacity.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Not Big 4 — And That Is the Point — Large enough to offer the client complexity, technical depth, and career infrastructure of a top-tier firm. Independent enough to move fast, reward high performers, and make decisions that are genuinely good for our people.
• Real Remote Culture — 30+ remote professionals across the country. Remote employees lead engagements, get promoted, and make partner. You are not an afterthought here.
• Fly-Outs That Actually Happen — Pre and post-busy season gatherings, firm-wide trips to destinations like Turks & Caicos, and remote employee fly-ins for orientation — all covered by the firm. Remote does not mean disconnected here.
• True Partner Track — We promote from within, we promote remote professionals, and we have the tenure data to back it up.
• No PE — Ever — Independently owned, no merger disruption, no private equity agenda. The culture and client relationships here are protected.
• Client Ownership From Day One — You are the face of the engagement — not a layer removed from it. Partners are accessible, hands-on, and genuinely invested in your development.

What You Will Do

• Lead and manage financial statement audit engagements from planning through issuance across a general commercial client base.
• Serve as the day-to-day client relationship owner on active engagements.
• Review workpapers, lead fieldwork, and ensure engagements are delivered on time and on budget.
• Mentor and develop staff and senior associates.
• Collaborate directly with partners on client strategy and business development.
• Apply technical accounting knowledge to complex issues — ASC research, financial reporting matters, and client-specific challenges.

What We Are Looking For

• Active CPA required.
• 5-7+ years of public accounting audit experience with at least 1–2 years managing engagements or supervising teams.
• Strong technical foundation in US GAAP and financial statement auditing across commercial industries.
• Strong client-facing communication skills — someone clients trust and want on their engagement.
• Self-directed and comfortable working in a remote-first environment with distributed teams.

What We Offer

• Base salary up to $175,000, commensurate with experience.
• Performance bonus.
• 100% remote — work from anywhere in the US.
• Firm-wide annual trips to top destinations — all expenses paid.
• Pre and post-busy season gatherings — remote employees flown in.
• Comprehensive medical, dental, vision, and 401(k).
• CPE support and meaningful investment in your professional development.
• A culture where contributions are visible and remote professionals advance.
