Audit Manager

Audit Manager / Senior Manager

📍 Horsham, PA

About the Opportunity

MacKai West is partnered with a highly regarded public accounting firm in the Horsham area seeking an Audit Manager or Senior Manager to join their growing team. This is not a traditional public accounting environment—this firm has built a reputation for pairing high-quality client work with a genuinely enjoyable, team-oriented culture.

The group is made up of sharp, motivated professionals who collaborate well and actually enjoy working together. It’s a place where expectations are high, but the environment is relaxed and down-to-earth.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Top-of-market compensation
• Strong work-life balance (rare on the audit side)
• Younger, collaborative team environment
• Leadership visibility and influence
• Significant room for growth and advancement

The Role

This individual will play a key role in leading audit engagements, managing client relationships, and developing staff. You’ll work closely with firm leadership and have the opportunity to take on increasing responsibility as the practice continues to grow.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and manage audit engagements from planning through completion
• Serve as a primary point of contact for clients
• Review work performed by staff and seniors
• Mentor and develop junior team members
• Ensure compliance with applicable accounting and auditing standards
• Contribute to process improvements and firm growth initiatives

Client Focus

This role will have strong exposure to:

• Government entities
• Yellow Book Audits + Schedule of Federal Rewards
• School systems and educational institutions

(Experience in these areas is highly preferred.)

What They’re Looking For

• 6–10+ years of public accounting audit experience
• Experience with government and/or school audits required
• Strong client-facing and leadership skills
• CPA preferred

The Culture

This is a firm where people genuinely enjoy coming to work. The culture is professional but relaxed—more “team that grabs a beer after work” than “burnout environment.” The leadership group has been intentional about building a place where people can do high-level work without sacrificing their quality of life.
