Audit Associate II | Nonprofit & Employee Benefit Plan Practice

Make an Impact Beyond the Audit

Clark Schaefer Hackett's Not-for-Profit Group partners with organizations that strengthen communities and improve lives every day.
Our team serves more than 700 not-for-profit organizations, ranging from local charities to institutions with annual budgets exceeding $1 billion. We provide audit, tax, and advisory services to a wide range of organizations, including charitable and social service agencies, healthcare providers, foundations, museums, housing programs, faith-based institutions, and professional associations.
As an Audit Associate II, you'll work on engagements that directly support these mission-driven organizations while building your career alongside recognized leaders in the not-for-profit and employee benefit plan space.

What You'll Do

Participate in financial statement audits, reviews, and compilations
Assist with Single Audits for organizations receiving federal funding
Perform audit testing and evaluate internal controls
Prepare audit workpapers and supporting documentation
Communicate directly with clients and engagement team members
Collaborate with managers and partners throughout engagements
Build expertise in not-for-profit and employee benefit plan auditing

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

Clark Schaefer Hackett is a recognized leader in the not-for-profit sector. This is not a niche service line or a secondary focus of the firm. It is a core practice area where we have invested heavily because we believe in supporting organizations that make a meaningful difference in our communities.
You'll join a collaborative team with direct access to experienced mentors and subject matter experts. Your work will be visible, meaningful, and client-facing from day one.
Our hybrid work environment provides flexibility while maintaining the strong support, coaching, and connection that help professionals grow.

What We're Looking For

Bachelor's degree in Accounting
1-3 years of audit or assurance experience
Understanding of audit methodology and financial statement engagements
Strong communication and relationship-building skills
Desire to learn and grow within public accounting

A Plus, But Not Required

CPA or CPA-track
Not-for-profit audit experience

Why CSH?

At Clark Schaefer Hackett, we're committed to helping our people build rewarding, sustainable careers while doing meaningful work.
We trust our professionals to work where they can be most effective. There are no office attendance quotas or arbitrary requirements. We collaborate in the office when it makes sense, work on-site with clients when it adds value, and work from home when that's the best option. Our focus is on serving clients, supporting one another, and delivering great results, not tracking where work gets done.
You'll join a collaborative team that values technical excellence, professional development, and strong relationships. You'll have the opportunity to learn from recognized leaders in the not-for-profit and employee benefit plan space while building expertise that will benefit you throughout your career.

5 weeks of PTO
An additional firm-wide shutdown week
Robust professional development and CPA support
Flexible, hybrid work options
A culture built on trust, respect, and collaboration

If you're looking for an opportunity to develop your technical skills, build meaningful client relationships, support organizations that strengthen our communities, and grow your audit career with one of the region's most respected public accounting and advisory firms, we encourage you to apply.
