Audit Manager, Nonprofit

REMOTE Position

Audit Manager, Nonprofit

Thank you for your interest in the Nonprofit Audit Manager position in Blue’s Audit practice.  Before you look at the position description below, we wanted to introduce you to an important philosophy we have at Blue.

We want to meet you where you are in your life.

There are many ways to define success.  At Blue, we believe your path to success will look different at different points in your life. We also believe success means different things to different people.  That is why we value diverse people and why we work hard to create a unique career path for everyone.  We firmly believe when your needs are met, you will be better equipped to meet the needs of our clients.  We want to understand your unique needs so we can meet you where you are professionally and personally. We believe our outlook is different than most accounting firms.  If you agree, we’d like to talk to you to see how we may create a path of success that is right for you, our firm, and our clients.

As an experienced audit professional, you likely possess most of the technical skills we seek for this role.  At Blue, our professionals embody more than just technical skills. 

Here is what you would do in the role of Audit Manager-Nonprofit:

• Listen carefully to clients.  Our clients consider us their trusted advisors. They have problems to solve and come to us for help. Understand their needs and seek to understand the root of their issues.  
• Build relationships with clients. Talk to clients and get to know them. We value words as much as we value numbers, and it is through engaged conversations you will come to learn what is important to a client. We are looking for individuals willing to engage in conversation beyond audit matters.
• Find solutions. You are the client’s advisor and as such you own the matter you are working on. Sometimes you will have the answer. Sometimes you will have to research it. Other times you will need to seek guidance from other people in the firm. Your role is to make sure the client has the answer they need.
• Review nonprofit returns Form 501 (C)
• Meet assigned deadlines or budgets and provide advance warning of any variances.
• Training and mentoring staff.

Here are the qualifications you should bring to the table:

• CPA or EA required.
• 5 years of relevant nonprofit experience in a similar public accounting firm position.
• A genuine interest in helping clients and coworkers.
• A desire to solve problems.
• A drive to continually learn.
• Proven financial, analytical, technical and interpersonal skills.
• Excellent client service and demonstrated business development skills.
• Demonstrated ability to oversee and manage engagements, prioritize engagements and supervise/motivate staff.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Ability to travel to client locations, mostly day trips; minimal overnight travel is required.

We are Responsive.  We are Caring.  We are Advocates.

We will not sponsor an employment related visa for this position. A background check will be required for employment in this position. Blue is an EOE/AA employer. M/F/D/V. All individuals, including minorities, women, individuals with disabilities, and veterans are encouraged to apply.
