CPA Accounting Manager – Audit, Assurance

3 days ago

Norfolk, Virginia, United States Overhead Solutions Group Full time

Position Overview

Overhead Solutions Group is seeking an experienced CPA Accounting Manager to lead audit and assurance engagements, provide technical oversight, and serve as a key layer of leadership within our public accounting firm.

This role is designed for a technically strong CPA—who is ready to step into true managerial authority. The Accounting Manager will function as a senior reviewer, advisor, and mentor, reducing rework, improving quality, and supporting both clients and staff at a high level.

This is not a production-heavy role. The value of this position lies in judgment, leadership, and technical excellence.

Primary Responsibilities
Audit & Assurance Leadership

  • Lead and review nonprofit and commercial audit engagements

  • Perform final-level reviews of:

  • Audit workpapers

  • Financial statements

  • Required disclosures and reports

  • Ensure compliance with GAAP, GAGAS (where applicable), and firm quality standards

  • Resolve complex accounting and audit issues independently
  • Support audit planning, risk assessments, and engagement strategy
  • Serve as the final technical reviewer prior to partner sign-off

Advisory & Technical Oversight

  • Provide accounting and financial advisory support to clients
  • Identify and communicate internal control and financial reporting improvements
  • Participate in high-level client discussions related to audit findings and accounting matters
  • Contribute to firm-wide technical standards and best practices

Tax Review (Limited Scope)

  • Review selected business and nonprofit tax filings, including Forms 990
  • Ensure alignment between tax filings and audited financial statements
  • Identify planning considerations and escalate as appropriate (Tax preparation is not the primary focus of this role.)

Team Leadership & Quality Control

  • Review work prepared by seniors and staff prior to final partner review
  • Serve as a technical resource and mentor to engagement teams
  • Enforce consistent audit and accounting standards to reduce rework
  • Provide feedback and coaching focused on quality, efficiency, and professional judgment
  • Assist with workflow management and deadline adherence

Why You'll Enjoy Working Here

  • Your expertise is trusted. Senior CPAs are empowered to make decisions and exercise professional judgment.
  • Direct access to leadership. You will work closely with firm leadership and have real influence over how work is performed.
  • Intentional growth. Advancement is based on performance and contribution—not tenure or internal politics.
  • Sustainable expectations. We value quality work and thoughtful planning over unnecessary burnout.
  • Opportunity to build. This role offers the chance to help shape the firm's future, not just maintain the status quo.

Career Growth & Long-Term Opportunity

This position is designed as a leadership-track role. For the right candidate, there is a clear path to expanded responsibility and senior leadership. Potential equity participation may be considered over time, based on performance, tenure, and mutual alignment.

Qualifications

  • Active CPA license (required)
  • Minimum 6 years of experience in public accounting
  • Strong background in audit and assurance
  • Demonstrated ability to independently review complex engagements
  • Experience mentoring or managing staff
  • Excellent technical, communication, and leadership skills
