Position Overview:
We are a CPA firm focused on supporting the many wonderful nonprofits in the San Francisco Bay Area with audit, review and tax services.
Many of us have worked in the nonprofit field directly ourselves. We are a smaller firm and like to work in a collaborative team based manner.

We provide training where needed and you would be responsible for helping with audit preparation, fieldwork and audit testing, and the wrap up and finalization of audits.

Professional and personable with clients
Accounting software experience (Quickbooks, Peachtree, FundEZ etc) a plus
Responsibilities:
Assist with financial statement audits and reviews, including planning work, fieldwork and wrap up work.
Assist during fieldwork with audit testing and other support activities.

Audit fieldwork may be located in various places in the Bay Area, so travel by BART, bus, walking or car (we generally carpool so you would not need to necessarily drive) will be required as part of the position.
Our regular office hours are approximately 9:00AM – 5:30PM and we follow similar hours when in the field as well.

Our office is very conveniently located in downtown Oakland near public transit (BART and many AC transit lines). The 19th Bart station enters directly into our building.

We may be unable to follow-up on all applications, but do expect to follow-up on applications selected for further review within 2-3 weeks.
Given the sensitive financial information we work with and the areas our clients work in including work with children and the elderly where we conduct on-site work a criminal background check is processed for staff who receive an offer of employment.
Compensation:
DOE – Depends on experience
