You'll work closely with our industry-focused teams to deliver quality audits and other assurance services to both public and privately-owned middle-market companies, as well as not-for-profit and governmental organizations. It’s a chance to direct projects, develop others, and manage client relationships.

As part of the audit team, you’ll gain experience performing the following services:

• Conducting engagement planning, process and controls testing, audit procedures, analytical reviews, and accounting research, as well as drafting financial statements, disclosures, and other reports
• Working with seasoned professionals who provide clients with the information and tools they need to achieve their operational, compliance, and financial-reporting goals
• Delivering business process control services in areas such as internal audit, construction audit, Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) compliance, royalty compliance, and government contracting
• Helping clients implement effective and efficient processes and controls needed to mitigate internal and external organization threats and exposures

Internal audits help clients achieve reliable financial reporting and regulatory compliance. As part of our internal audit team, you’ll help clients with both tasks while also navigating risk through internal audits, Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) consulting and compliance, process and control improvement, and internal controls reviews.

You’ll also help businesses mitigate the risk of fraud by evaluating both the quality and effectiveness of their controls, providing solutions to improve their responses to warning signs, and lending your expertise to forensic investigations.

You’ll help clients comply with government and industry standards, achieve greater efficiency, control costs, and avoid common pitfalls. We provide our clients many IT solutions, including SOX services, system and organization control (SOC) audits, technology assessments, and policy and procedure development.

As part of the tax team, you'll deliver quality tax solutions to a broad range of clients, including public and privately-owned middle-market companies as well as not-for-profit organizations and high-net worth individuals. You’ll help clients and gain expertise in the following areas:

• Developing industry expertise and hone your skills in areas such as partnerships, estate planning, international taxation, and tax provisions
• Working with clients to stay abreast of current and proposed laws and compliance requirements in the income and franchise, sales and transaction, and property tax arenas
• Participating in projects related to tax credits, incentives, and refunds; or unemployment tax, refund audits, or nexus analysis and planning

Many companies have some form of activity outside their national jurisdiction, whether it's foreign subsidiaries, joint ventures, international suppliers, or import-export relationships. These arrangements can provide distinct competitive advantages, but also create challenges for organizations to remain in compliance, minimize risk to individual employees and the company, and succeed in the marketplace.

Our International Tax team helps companies understand the international components of their overall business operations so clients can succeed in the marketplace.

Research and development (R&D) is one of the most valuable tax incentives available, returning billions of dollars every year to businesses, and it represents a dollar-for-dollar reduction of an organization's income tax liability. Despite the significant potential benefits of the R&D tax credit, many companies are unaware that their day-to-day operations could qualify and provide a source of extra cash.

Our team examines all of a company's activities and determines which areas are eligible to take advantage of current R&D tax credit opportunities. We then help them identify qualified R&D activities—including those that can be expensed immediately—and assemble documentation to defend their claim. By ensuring they're receiving these benefits for the work they're already doing, we help clients keep more money to reinvest in their business rather than pay it out to the IRS or state governments.

Learn from a wide range of professionals, including CPAs, attorneys, and engineers.
