We're looking for a senior accounting and audit professional to own the work where clients, audit judgment and AI meet: leading client engagements end to end, standing behind the verification and audit procedures that keep our work defensible, and setting the methodology that engineering and product build into our AI systems.\nThis isn't a traditional senior or manager role. You won't spend your days reviewing a staff team's workpapers. You'll decide how AI should perform an audit procedure, define what \"right\" looks like, and prove it with evidence a reviewer, regulator or peer reviewer would accept.\nThis is an early, senior hire at a startup. Expect wide scope, real ambiguity and direct influence over how the firm and the platform work. We're looking for people who turn hard, unstructured problems into systems others can rely on.\nWhat Makes This Role Senior\nThe Senior Accounting Engineer owns outcomes where the Accounting Engineer executes and contributes.\nResponsibilities\nClient leadership\nOwn a portfolio of client relationships from onboarding through engagement completion and renewal.\n\nLead complex, high-stakes or first-of-kind engagements, and be the escalation point when clients or teammates hit hard methodology questions.\n\nExplain AI-generated work product to client finance teams and fund managers, and build their confidence in how it was produced.\n\nTurn patterns across clients into product and process changes, with clear priorities for engineering.\n\nAudit quality & judgment\nPlan engagements: assess risk, set materiality and scope procedures across private funds and SPVs, private companies, employee benefit plans, governments and nonprofits.\n\nAct as reviewer on verification and audit procedures and AI-generated workpapers; sign off on them before they reach clients or engagement partners.\n\nMake and document the judgment calls on sufficiency and appropriateness of evidence, so a peer reviewer can follow your reasoning.\n\nTrack AICPA auditing and attestation standards and firm quality management policies, and keep our methodology and AI workflows current with them.\n\nMethodology & AI systems\nWrite and maintain the audit methodology, work programs and quality review standards our AI workflows are built on.\n\nDefine accuracy requirements with engineering and product, and design the evals and test cases that prove an AI workflow is reliable.\n\nBuild modules and prototypes using AI and technology tools.\n\nDecide, with the engagement partner, when a new AI-assisted procedure is ready for client use - and when it isn't.\n\nBuild feedback loops so every engagement improves the system.\n\nTeam\nMentor Accounting Engineers, review their work and raise the team's standard of judgment.\n\nHelp hire, interview and onboard new team members.\n\nGrow our internal knowledge base so what one person learns, everyone can use.\n\nQualifications\n6-10+ years of audit or assurance experience, including in-charge or manager-level responsibility for engagements.\n\nActive CPA license.\n\nWorking knowledge of AICPA auditing standards (AU-C) and risk-based audit methodology.\n\nA track record of reviewing others' work and owning the final quality of an engagement.\n\nExperience applying audit expertise outside a traditional audit environment (industry, consulting, audit innovation or product roles).\n\nComfort with technology and AI tools, and the ability to explain precisely where an automated output is right or wrong.\n\nExcellent written communication; you can document a judgment call so a reviewer or regulator can follow it.\n\nStrong client presence - you can lead a difficult conversation with a CFO or fund manager.\n\nPreferred Qualifications\nAudit experience in one or more of these industries: private funds, including venture capital, private equity and SPVs (ASC 946, fair value of portfolio investments); private companies; 401(k) and other employee benefit plans (ERISA, AU-C 703, Form 5500); and the public sector, including state and local governments (GASB, Government Auditing Standards, Single Audits under Uniform Guidance) and nonprofits (ASC 958).\n\nHands-on experience building or testing AI or automation for audit or analytical work - prompts, evals, scripts or data pipelines.\n\nWorking knowledge of SQL, Python or similar tools for data analytics.\n\nExperience writing firm methodology, work programs or quality management policies that others adopted.\n\nStrong, well-reasoned opinions about what traditional audit gets wrong and how to fix it.\n\nExperience in a startup or other fast-paced, unstructured environment.\n\nCompensation & Work Environment\nSalary plus equity.\n\nFully remote, with flexibility on how and when you work.\n\nHigh ownership and direct influence over product, methodology and the future of audit automation - you set the standard the system is held to.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4877,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":6,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Audit & Assurance Firms","Accounting & Tax Software"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-07T17:28:50Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":7,"expected_fill_days":29,"reasons":["conf:2","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-15T05:46:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/oath-senior-accounting-engineer-2","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/oath-senior-accounting-engineer-2.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-15T19:27:02Z","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":29430,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-16T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"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":3787487},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=3787487"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Foath-senior-accounting-engineer-2"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"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%2Foath-senior-accounting-engineer-2"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"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%2Foath-senior-accounting-engineer-2"},{"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/oath-senior-accounting-engineer-2\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Foath-senior-accounting-engineer-2"}]}
