As a US Auditor supporting a dynamic portfolio of US clients, you’ll plan and execute audits, turn complex standards into clear insights, and help clients strengthen controls before issues become findings. You’ll partner with accounting teams and CPA firms across US time zones, blend rigor with practicality, and document a story that stands up to scrutiny. Full-time IC with exclusivity (no other part-time or freelance engagements once hired). If you thrive on precision, process, and crisp communication—welcome. ## **About the Role** You orchestrate the audit from kickoff to wrap: set materiality, map risks, walk through processes, and design procedures that test what matters. You’ll dig beneath the ledger—control design, evidence quality, sampling logic—then package conclusions so any reviewer (or regulator) can follow your trail. Expect variety (industries, systems, maturities) and real ownership: you’ll refine playbooks, mentor teammates, and leave every client a little stronger than you found them. ## **What You’ll Do** - Plan the engagement: Define scope, materiality, and risk assessment; build audit programs tailored to client size, industry, and control environment. - Understand & test controls: Perform walkthroughs of key processes (rev rec, purchasing, payroll, inventory), document narratives/flowcharts, and test design & operating effectiveness. - Execute substantive work: Design and perform substantive analytical procedures and tests of details (confirmations, cut-off, existence/valuation, completeness). - Revenue & leases focus: Evaluate ASC 606 revenue recognition (contracts, performance obligations, variable consideration) and ASC 842 lease accounting (classification, ROU assets, discount rates). - Key estimates & areas: Audit AR allowances, inventory (lower of cost or NRV), impairments, contingencies, share-based comp, and depreciation/amortization. - Sampling & data: Apply defensible sampling approaches; reconcile populations; leverage data tools (queries, pivots) to spot outliers and anomalies. - Workpapers that tell a story: Build PBC lists, tie-outs, and cross-references; maintain GAAS-compliantdocumentation with clear conclusions and reviewer-ready notes. - Findings & recommendations: Identify control deficiencies, propose remediation steps, and communicate status/findings with calm, client-friendly clarity. - Compliance & updates: Stay current on US GAAS (AICPA) and relevant GAAP updates; apply firm methodology consistently; support EQR/reviewer comments promptly. - Close the loop: Manage wrap-up, representation letters, subsequent events procedures, and final reporting deliverables (management letters, audit reports). ## **What You’ll Bring** - Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related discipline - 3+ years of US external audit experience (public practice or equivalent). - Strong command of US GAAP and US GAAS (AICPA); exposure to PCAOB standards a plus. - Proficiency with audit software (e.g., Caseware, CCH ProSystem fx Engagement, Workpaper Manager, or similar) and cloud collaboration tools. - Solid Excel/Google Sheets skills (lookups, pivots, reconciliations); comfort working from client ERPs/GLs (QBO, Xero, NetSuite, etc.). - Clear, concise English communication (written & spoken), client-facing professionalism, and strong stakeholder management. - Time-zone alignment: Comfortable working US business hours - Nice-to-have: Data analytics tools (IDEA/ACL/Power Query), experience across multi-location audits, and familiarity with SOC or review/compilation engagements. ## **The Ideal Candidate** - You balance rigor with pragmatism—you test what matters and explain why. - Your workpapers are audit-ready: tidy, cross-referenced, and easy to review. - You’re a systems thinker who loves improving checklists, templates, and sampling logic. - You translate standards into plain English and build trust through steady communication. - You coach others with specifics, not slogans—actionable review notes and mini-teach sessions. ## **Compensation & Perks** - Monthly pay in USD based on experience and client mix. - Permanent WFH with company-provided equipment (laptop, monitor, accessories). - 15 days PTO annually + local public holidays. - Exposure to diverse US industries, modern audit stacks, and well-documented methodologies. - Supportive, documentation-first culture with clear review standards and knowledge sharing. ## **Contract Status & Exclusivity** Full-time independent contractor. Exclusive commitment required—no part-time or freelance engagements after hire. Conflict-of-interest checks may apply. ## **How We Work** - Quality-first: Standardized planning memos, risk matrices, sampling plans, and review notes. - Security: MFA, least-privilege access, and secure file-sharing—no exceptions. - Collaboration: Slack/Zoom standups, shared task boards, predictable review cycles, and fast feedback loops. ## **Application Process** 1.
