ABOUT OUR CLIENT
Our Client is a large, successful local CPA firm headquartered in central Houston. With a strong reputation for technical excellence, the firm prides itself on maintaining a friendly, team-oriented environment that avoids the “rat race” mentality of the largest firms. They are committed to work-life integration, ensuring employees can thrive professionally while enjoying a fulfilling personal life.
ABOUT THE ROLE
The Audit Manager will lead mid-sized and large Houston-based engagements, primarily for for-profit corporations, while also overseeing a small number of 401(k) audits.
