GAAP Dynamics Hiring for CPA Audit Training Specialist (Must have CPA / 4+ Years Public Accounting) Job at Remote Full Time

CPA Audit Training Specialist (must have CPA/public accounting experience)

For the past 20 years we’ve basically hired Big 4 public company auditors that wanted to get the heck out of the craziness of public accounting, busy season and, to be honest, audit. As ex-Big 4 auditors, we have the unique ability to incorporate PCAOB auditing standards and U.S. generally accepted auditing standards (U.S. GAAS) into our U.S. GAAP and IFRS training.

That hasn’t changed, but we need new blood. A fresh set of eyes, especially on the audit side. Someone that eats, breathes, and sleeps audit, and likes it! This person should also be outgoing, personable, and fun, to quickly assimilate into our unique corporate culture. We realize we’re looking for a unicorn but truly believe that they’re out there (because what’s a world without unicorns and rainbows). Are you this mythical creature we’re searching for? Let’s find out!

Overview of the position

Do you like audit and have a passion for helping others be better at their jobs as auditors? If so, this job might be your jam. You should be an excellent communicator with the ability to teach complex and/or boring concepts in a unique and exciting way, focusing on the key learning points. You have a flair for presenting information in a way that is visually appealing and easily digestible. Finally, you love researching topics and analyzing data, including PCAOB inspection reports and deficiency trends.

Are you entrepreneurial? If so, you’re in luck! One of the most exciting aspects of this position is that you’ll oversee all the audit-related training content produced by GAAP Dynamics, including helping us strategize and build our audit eLearning library from the ground up. Instead of shying away from doing audit-related training, only begrudgingly doing it because our clients request it, we can proudly embrace our audit-related proficiency that you’ll bring to the table (and actively market and sell it to clients)!

This is a 100% remote, full-time position, although we can structure it to be part time (80%) if you’re the right candidate. Here’s what you’ll be doing:

• Co-facilitate basic audit training via webinar to our existing client using their materials (programs last 3-4 days, for 8 hours per day)
• Co-facilitate other webinars (1-2 hours each) as needed throughout the year (mainly the audit portion of our annual A&A Update)
• Develop instructor-led training materials (PowerPoint slides and related facilitator notes) for new audit standards and hot topics
• Develop and review storyboards for our audit eLearning library
• Design a turnkey offering (i.e., training plan by level) of audit and accounting information to be offered to regional accounting firms to assist them in training their staff
• Research recent audit-related pronouncements, hot topics, and deficiency statistics within PCAOB inspection reports and publications
• Update our PCAOB eBook (annually)
• Produce audit-related blog posts (8 posts per year, approximately 600-800 words each) and other premium content (e.g., microlearning videos and practice aids)

Breakout of job responsibilities

Here’s our best guess as to the breakout of your responsibilities:

• Facilitating webinars, including time for preparation (35%)
• Developing audit-related training materials and storyboards, including developing a strategy for this new division (45%)
• Producing our PCAOB eBook, audit-related blog posts, and premium content (15%)
• Attending internal meetings, keeping up with your CPE, and other (5%)

Since this position is 100% remote, you must be a self-starter, able to work independently without being micromanaged. That said, you are part of a team so you should be confident in reaching out to others to either give or receive help. You’ll be respectful of others’ time, making sure deadlines are met or at least communicate when there are issues. You should always strive to make our product better (more effective), while looking for ways to improve efficiency. But, most importantly, you always try to do your best to help us deliver quality training to our clients…and have fun doing it!

Minimum qualifications

This position requires a professional residing with in the United States with the following minimum qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree (or higher) in accounting/finance
• Licensed Certified Public Accountant (CPA) in good standing
• Strong technical proficiency in PCAOB auditing standards and/or U.S. GAAS
• Knowledge of U.S. GAAP and/or IFRS

Required experience and preferred skills

The qualified candidate has 4+ years of CURRENT audit experience. While public company audit experience is not necessarily required, you should have relevant experience with understanding, documenting, and testing internal controls. And experience in corporate training design, development, and facilitation is a plus!
