My client is looking for an Senior Audit Associate for their location in Houston, TX. This is a permanent position offering a salary range of $65K - $75K. Client is open to candidates willing to relocate and may consider covering a portion of relocation expenses. Must be U.S Citizen.
About the Position
This position reports directly to our Audit Managers, Senior Managers and Directors and works collaboratively with the members of our expanding audit team. Those at the Senior Associate level are newly in a position of advanced technical aptitude and supervisory responsibilities. A Senior Associate must be able to handle more complex assignments than the Associate, begin to learn the complete process of managing all tasks regarding client work, and take a lead role in developing/reviewing the work of less experienced staff. The Senior Associate role is the bridge between the staff, who are executing the client-service related tasks, and the management, who are strategizing and overseeing successful completion of efficient engagement activity and top quality client service. The Senior Associate needs to be the liaison to management, and therefore needs to develop a broader scope of the business into a supervisory role. During this time, the Senior Associate is expected to develop confidence with his/her role, to become fully acclimated to a supervisory position, where he/she may be in charge of the day-to-day activity on multiple engagements and/or supervising multiple team members. The Senior Associate increasingly needs to be able to perform the most complex technical tasks of the engagement and work more and more with less supervision.
