Senior Assurance Associate – Relocation to San Francisco, Santa Clara, or Seattle
Locations: San Francisco, Santa Clara (Silicon Valley), or Seattle
Type: Onsite
Full Time
Build a career that compounds. Work on what matters most.
"Ready to move beyond busy season?"
A high-growth, entrepreneurial leadership and financial advisory firm is expanding its teams in San Francisco, Santa Clara (Silicon Valley), and Seattle and is seeking experienced accounting and finance professionals ready to accelerate their careers.
Candidates currently living outside these markets are encouraged to apply. Relocation assistance is available for qualified candidates.
This organization partners with Fortune 1000 and large-cap companies to solve complex, high-impact financial challenges—from IPO readiness and M&A to technical accounting and finance transformation initiatives.
If you're ready to move beyond the traditional audit path and gain broader client exposure, accelerated career growth, and meaningful business impact, we'd love to hear from you.
What You'll Do
- Lead and deliver critical accounting and finance projects for large, complex organizations
- Support initiatives such as IPO readiness, mergers & acquisitions, carve-outs, and financial reporting transformations
- Apply deep knowledge of U.S. GAAP and FASB standards
- Engage directly with senior stakeholders and finance leaders
- Contribute to business development, recruiting, and internal growth initiatives
Must-Have Qualifications
- 3–4 years of experience in external audit (required)
- Background with a Big 4 or leading national public accounting firm
- At least 1–3 busy seasons as a Senior Associate
- Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance
- Strong foundation in U.S. GAAP and financial reporting
- Demonstrated career progression and professional stability
- Advanced Excel skills (pivot tables, modeling, macros a plus)
Preferred
- CPA or active progress toward certification
- Hybrid experience across public accounting and industry or advisory
- Experience serving large public companies ($500M–$3B+ revenue)
Professional Profile
- High-energy, adaptable, and intellectually curious
- Strong communication skills with the ability to influence and build trust
- Entrepreneurial mindset with an interest in expanding beyond traditional audit work
- Proven ability to learn quickly and deliver immediate value
- Team-oriented with a long-term growth perspective
Travel Requirements
- Moderate travel (~25–60%), depending on client engagements
- Primarily within your assigned market (San Francisco Bay Area, Santa Clara or Seattle) and surrounding client locations
- Flexibility for onsite client work
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
- Break out of repetitive audit cycles and work on high-impact strategic projects
- Gain exposure to multiple industries and complex business challenges
- Accelerate your career through diverse client engagements
- Join a firm that combines leadership development with accounting and finance advisory
- Receive ongoing investment in your professional growth through coaching, mentorship, and leadership training
- Choose the market that best fits your career and lifestyle—San Francisco, Silicon Valley, or Seattle
Compensation & Benefits
- Competitive base salary plus performance-based incentives (target approximately 40%)
- Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage
- Generous PTO, paid holidays, and sick leave
- 401(k) with profit sharing
- Professional development and continuing education support
- Leadership training and career coaching
- Relocation assistance for qualified candidates moving to San Francisco, Santa Clara, or Seattle
If you're an audit professional looking to transition into a more dynamic advisory career—and are open to an exciting move to one of the country's leading business and technology hubs—we encourage you to apply.
