Audit Manager – Seattle-based CPA Firm

,

Audit Manager

This Seattle-based, proudly independent CPA firm isn’t chasing private equity — they’re investing in people.
They’re hiring an Audit Manager to lead a team of 5 auditors, serve a diverse client base, and grow into a future leadership role in a firm where women already outnumber men — and are supported at every level.

What You’ll Do

  • Lead and mentor a team of 5 through all phases of the audit process
  • Serve a mix of privately held clients across industries:
    • Fishing & maritime
    • Manufacturing
    • Fitness & wellness
    • Employee benefit plans
  • Use tools including ProSystems FX, Engagement, and Knowledge Coach
  • Collaborate with clients primarily remotely, with occasional on-site visits for select audits

Why This Firm Stands Out

  • Independent, long-term focused firm — no outside investors, no outside pressure
  • Strong track record of supporting and growing women in leadership
  • More women than men across the firm, and an inclusive, empowering culture
  • Flexible work structure: hybrid model with most audits conducted remotely
  • Competitive compensation: $120K–$150K+, depending on experience

If you’re an experienced auditor in the Pacific Northwest looking for real autonomy, leadership opportunity, and a firm that walks the talk on values — this is the place.

Salary: $120,000 – 150,000+ (DOE)
