A respected consulting firm is hiring experienced accounting professionals for project-based consulting roles across the U.S. These roles are ideal for both current auditors ready for something new and former auditors who have transitioned into industry but miss the pace, challenge, and variety of client-facing work. If you're looking for more dynamic work — without returning to audit — this is a great next step.

Responsibilities

• Support clients through a variety of strategic and technical accounting projects
• Contribute to or lead initiatives such as:
• General ledger close and process improvement
• FP&A, budgeting, and forecasting support
• Technical accounting (e.g., ASC 606, ASC 842, SEC reporting)
• IPO readiness and public company transformation
• M&A preparation and integration
• Engage directly with client finance teams in professional, often on-site environments
• Adapt quickly to new systems, tools, and team dynamics

Qualifications

• 2+ years of experience in external audit (Big 4 or large public firm strongly preferred)
• Professionals currently in audit or those now in corporate roles welcome to apply
• CPA or CPA-eligible preferred
• Strong technical accounting knowledge and business acumen
• Comfortable in fast-paced, client-facing roles
• Excellent communication and adaptability in new environments
• Competitive compensation structure
• No external audit — all project-based work across accounting and finance functions
• Opportunity to work with well-known, innovative companies
• Variety, visibility, and challenge without the burnout of busy season
• Career-building experience in a high-caliber consulting environment
• Supportive team culture with real-world impact
