As an applied research and product company, we equip enterprises with a comprehensive AI stack to build customized, secure intelligence tailored to their unique business needs.\nDriven by advanced Small Language Models and our dynamic metamodel framework, our flagship platforms - Nace Data Intelligence and the Nace SLM Cloud - enable true end-to-end business process automation. The result is transformative ROI: professional services firms using Nace AI are currently recovering 1,000 hours per client engagement, drastically reducing overhead and accelerating delivery.\nThe work we are doing has a meaningful impact across industries, and every hire at Nace AI plays a critical role in shaping the company’s trajectory. This is a unique opportunity to join a high conviction AI company at an early stage and directly influence its growth.\nIf building a world-class AI team from the ground up excites you, we’d love to talk.\nWhat you will actually do\nReview AI-generated workpaper interpretations against real audit standards.\nThe system parses uploaded audit workpapers and makes decisions: which procedures address which assertions, what constitutes sufficient appropriate evidence, and where a potential misstatement exists. You will tell us when those decisions are audit-defensible and when they are not.\nDefine ground truth across account types and audit areas.\nRevenue recognition, accounts receivable confirmations, inventory observations, debt covenants, management estimates, related-party disclosures - each behaves differently under AU-C standards. You will tell us what a correct result looks like for each, and provide real workpaper examples where possible.\nChallenge the AI's risk and exception logic.\nWhen the system identifies a transaction as potentially misstated, is it? When it concludes that substantive procedures are sufficient without further testing, should it? You provide the professional judgment the engineering team cannot.\nShape the product roadmap.\nYou will identify gaps between what auditors actually need and what the system currently produces. Those gaps become the next build cycle.\nWho this is for\nYou have 5+ years of hands-on financial audit experience, including direct workpaper preparation and review - not just oversight. You know what a peer reviewer or regulator looks for because you have been in that room.\nYou came up through a Big 4 or equivalent top-tier firm (EY, PwC, Deloitte, KPMG, or a national practice with equivalent audit depth). You hold a CPA and have worked across multiple clients and industry verticals, not just one sector.\nYou are intellectually curious about what AI gets wrong - not defensive about it. You see the potential for AI in audit and want to be part of getting it right from the beginning, before the standards catch up.\nMinimum qualifications\n5+ years of financial statement audit experience, hands-on\n\nBig 4 or equivalent top-tier firm background required\n\nDeep working knowledge of GAAS, AU-C standards, and PCAOB where applicable\n\nCPA certification required\n\nExperience spanning multiple audit areas and account types, not single-domain\n\nPreferred\nExperience leading audit engagements for mid-to-large cap public or private companies\n\nFormer senior associate or manager level - you reviewed others' workpapers\n\nExposure to audit analytics, data-driven testing, or audit technology platforms\n\nIntellectual interest in where AI belongs - and doesn't belong - in regulated workflows","description_format":"text","description_chars":3688,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["LLM & Generative AI","Education AI"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-11T09:14:19Z"},{"event":"close","at":"2026-11-05T04:38:58Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"adverts_offering_sponsorship_24m":0,"sanctioned_now":false,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 2","filings_12m":2,"filings_prev_12m":0,"green_card_filings_12m":0,"median_offered_wage_usd":187500,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-11-09T07:32:21+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":null,"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/nace-financial-audit-consultant","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/nace-financial-audit-consultant.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-10T08:23:58Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":19469,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-11T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":678797},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=678797"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fnace-financial-audit-consultant"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":2,"usd":0.2},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fnace-financial-audit-consultant"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fnace-financial-audit-consultant"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/nace-financial-audit-consultant\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fnace-financial-audit-consultant"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":728909}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"nace.ai","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":728909},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
