Location: Rogers, Arkansas
Schedule: On-Site

Our client, a respected and growing CPA and advisory firm, is seeking an experienced Audit Senior to join its Rogers office.

This is more than a traditional assurance role.

It's an opportunity to work directly with manufacturers, distribution companies, healthcare organizations, construction firms, real estate businesses, nonprofit entities, and privately held companies while gaining valuable exposure to a diverse range of audit, review, compilation, and consulting engagements.

As an Audit Senior, you'll take an active role in engagement planning, fieldwork execution, staff supervision, client communication, and financial reporting. You'll serve as a leader on engagement teams while developing the technical and leadership skills needed for future advancement into management.

If you're looking for a public accounting opportunity that combines technical expertise, client interaction, leadership development, and long-term career growth, we'd welcome a confidential conversation.

• $75,000–$105,000 base salary

• Significant client interaction and relationship-building opportunities
• Opportunity to supervise and mentor staff accountants
• Continuing education and professional development support
• Exposure to multiple industries and complex engagements
• Collaborative and team-oriented culture
