Audit Director | Canton, MA (Hybrid)
Step into leadership without stepping away from your life.
You’ve been in audit for a good number of years. You’ve put the hours into many busy seasons. You’ve managed teams of accountants. You’ve built trust with clients and guided teams through the messiest parts of busy season. Now you’re looking for more, not just in title, but in ownership, influence, and balance.
This is your chance to take the reins of a profitable audit function at one of New England’s most respected independent accounting firms. You’ll be in the room where decisions are made. You’ll shape the direction of the audit department and develop the people under you. You’ll do it at a firm that actually walks the talk when it comes to work-life balance and internal promotion.
Here’s what you’ll get as the Audit Director:
• A real seat at the table: You’ll help lead the audit practice and guide firm-wide initiatives alongside the COO and partners.
• Time back for your life: Hybrid flexibility, no Saturdays, summer Fridays, 11 holidays, and a generous PTO package.
• The freedom to lead your way: You’ll hire, mentor, and manage a high-performing team with autonomy and support.
• A firm where people stay:90% of partners started here as staff accountants. This could be your last move and your best one.
• Big-league clients, without the burnout: Mid-sized, high-quality businesses plus one of the top energy practices in the country.
• A place that’s still growing: Investment banking, outsourced accounting, private wealth, and cyber all under one roof. You’ll be part of something evolving.
What you’ll be doing: You’ll oversee and manage multiple audit engagements from planning through completion. You’ll work directly with clients on compliance and complex advisory issues like mergers, acquisitions, succession planning, funding strategies, and serve as their go-to sounding board. Internally, you’ll lead and mentor staff, manage department profitability, and help drive growth through both client service and practice development.
If you’ve been waiting for a director role where you can have a voice, make a mark, and still have a weekend, this is it.
Let’s talk.
