Job Description

Make the Move from Public Accounting to Strategic Impact

Are you a high-performing auditor from a Big 4 or regional public accounting firm ready to apply your expertise in a more strategic, business-facing role? Join our Controls Assurance team and take ownership of end-to-end control testing while partnering directly with business leaders to strengthen risk management and financial reporting.

This role offers the opportunity to leverage your external audit or advisory experience in a dynamic corporate environment—moving beyond compliance to drive meaningful improvements across processes, controls, and governance.

What You’ll Do

As a Controls Assurance Auditor, you will play a key role in evaluating and enhancing our internal control environment, with a focus on SOX / ICFR. You’ll operate with a high level of ownership across the full audit lifecycle—from planning through reporting—while engaging directly with stakeholders across the business.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and execute SOX / ICFR testing, including walkthroughs, design assessments, and operating effectiveness testing
• Partner with control owners and business leaders to understand processes, identify risks, and evaluate control design
• Prepare high-quality, audit-ready workpapers and documentation aligned with audit standards
• Collaborate with external auditors (Big 4) to coordinate testing, align on approach, and support reliance strategies
• Identify control gaps and articulate clear, actionable deficiency assessments
• Contribute to maintain risk and control matrix (RCM), process documentation, and ongoing control optimization
• Support SOX scoping, planning, and risk assessment activities across business cycles
• Track and communicate testing progress, key risks, and findings to management and stakeholders
• Drive continuous improvement initiatives in controls and processes
• Support special projects, including system implementations and control transformation efforts

Why This Role Is a Strong Next Step from Public Accounting

• Broader exposure: Move beyond external audits to gain deep, end-to-end understanding of business processes
• More influence: Work directly with management to shape controls and improve operations by becoming a trusted partner
• Career growth: Clear pathway into leadership roles within Controls Assurance, Internal Audit, or Corporate Finance
• Global collaboration: Partner with cross-functional and international teams
• Work-life balance: More predictable schedule compared to public accounting busy seasons and a collaborative team for vacation coverage

What You’ll Gain

In this role, you’ll build a foundation for long-term career growth by:

• Developing deep expertise across financial processes, risks, and controls
• Opportunity to learn processes and controls in your specific areas of interest within the Finance organization
• Enhancing your ability to translate technical audit insights into business recommendations
• Gaining visibility with senior leadership and cross-functional teams across all teams within the finance organization
• Building the skills needed for advancement into manager-level roles in Controls Assurance, Internal Audit, or Finance
