Senior Accountant Assurance Services

Senior Accountant – Assurance Services

Burke CPAs & Advisors | Cincinnati, Ohio

Are you a CPA with public accounting experience who wants more variety, more client contact, and more opportunity to grow beyond traditional audit work?

Burke CPAs & Advisors is looking for a Senior Accountant – Assurance Services to join its Cincinnati-based Accounting & Assurance practice. This role offers a strong mix of audits, reviews, accounting, and advisory work for privately held businesses and entrepreneurial clients.

At Burke, assurance is not just about checking boxes. It is about helping business owners understand their numbers, improve their operations, manage risk, and make better decisions. You will work with a respected regional firm that has served clients for more than 40 years while maintaining a close-knit, relationship-driven team.

Why This Role Stands Out

This is an excellent opportunity for a CPA who wants to do meaningful client work without being confined to a narrow audit-only position.

You will gain exposure to privately held businesses, owner-managed companies, accounting advisory issues, financial reporting, internal controls, buy- and sell-side M&A activity, and practical business conversations. Burke’s broader service model includes accounting, assurance, tax, consulting, wealth planning, and business advisory services, giving you the opportunity to develop as a well-rounded advisor.

Burke CPAs & Advisors was founded by Patrick J. Burke, CPA, an accomplished advisor, attorney, entrepreneur, author, and business strategist who has worked with hundreds of startups and privately held companies. That entrepreneurial mindset continues to shape the firm’s culture today.

What You’ll Do

As a Senior Accountant – Assurance Services, you will help plan, perform, and complete assurance and accounting engagements while working closely with managers, partners, clients, and team members.

Responsibilities include:

• Performing audits, reviews, compilations, and other assurance engagements
• Preparing and reviewing workpapers, financial statements, and supporting schedules
• Identifying accounting, reporting, internal control, and operational issues
• Communicating with clients to gather information and resolve questions
• Assisting with accounting and advisory projects beyond traditional assurance work
• Helping clients understand financial results and improve accounting processes
• Reviewing and mentoring staff accountants when appropriate
• Managing deadlines, workflow, and client expectations
• Collaborating with tax, accounting, consulting, and advisory professionals across the firm

What We’re Looking For

The ideal candidate will bring:

• Active CPA license
• 2+ years of recent public accounting experience
• Experience with audits, reviews, compilations, and financial statement preparation
• Strong understanding of GAAP and assurance standards
• Ability to manage multiple engagements and deadlines with limited supervision
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Professional curiosity and sound judgment
• A client-service mindset
• Interest in growing into a broader advisory role

You’ll Thrive Here If You Are

• A CPA who wants more client interaction and variety
• Someone who enjoys understanding the business behind the numbers
• A strong problem-solver who can think beyond the workpaper
• Organized, responsive, and deadline-conscious
• Interested in privately held businesses and entrepreneurial clients
• Looking for a respected regional firm where your work will be noticed
