Company Information
Navigator Recruiting client is a reputable well-establish local 18-employee CPA firm in downtown Denver which has experienced 60% growth in clients in the past 12 years. This firm is seeking an Audit Senior, ideally someone with some not-for-profit client experience (as non-profits and foundations are the firm's niche) and someone who is willing to train and teach junior staff and has the ability to see the "big picture" and also can do some detailed work. This is a small firm and the right individual must be more hands-on in details than at a larger firm. There are opportunities to continue to be promoted to manager and become partner. The firm also offers flexibility and the ability to work from home a few days per week. The firm emphasizes "life outside of work" and the work hours are very reasonable for Seniors, Managers and Partners.

• You will become a trusted advisor to your clients as you continue to develop your knowledge of not-for-profit organizations and become an expert in the industry.
• Unique to this firm, all of the auditors and managers also prepare the Form 990 annual tax return for their clients. The firm prefers this approach because it feels 990s are relatively easy, information-only returns with little tax strategy required and the firm is able to think about tax presentation during their audit process to ensure seamless preparation of the return after the audit has concluded. Therefore, you will also be responsible for the oversight and review of the tax return for your engagement.
