EDP Audit Manager jobs in Richmond, KY

Audit Manager 

Thank you for your interest in the Auditor Manager position. Before you look at the position description below, we wanted to introduce you to an important philosophy we have at Blue.

Here is what you would do in the role of Audit Manager:

• Listen carefully to clients. Our clients consider us their trusted advisors. They have problems to solve and come to us for help. Understand their needs and seek to understand the root of their issues. 
• Build relationships with clients. Talk to clients and get to know them. We value words as much as we value numbers, and it is through engaged conversations you will come to learn what is important to a client. We are looking for individuals willing to engage in conversation beyond audit matters. 
• Find solutions. You are the client’s advisor and as such you own the matter you are working on. Sometimes you will have the answer. Sometimes you will have to research it. Other times you will need to seek guidance from other people in the firm. Your role is to make sure the client has the answer they need.
• Continually learn and become a subject matter expert in your area(s) of interest.
• Plan, schedule, execute, and lead all aspects of assurance engagements. 
• Collect and analyze data to detect deficient controls, fraud, or non-compliance with laws, regulations, and management policies.
• Provide risk assessments and recommend controls; assist with the preparation of financial statements, management letters, and detailed reports on audit findings.
• Build and expand relationships with clients and community contacts to contribute to the overall marking efforts of the firm. 
• Foster teamwork, innovative thinking, and share knowledge within and amongst our team.
• You will play a key role in the firm’s commercial practice, working directly with directors in the Lexington office and throughout the firm to serve clients and pursuing strategic objectives.  

The expectation is that this position will be in office or hybrid within our Lexington, Kentucky office.  However, we will consider remote candidates, with a preference for individuals who are located within the Blue & Co. footprint (Kentucky, central / southern Indiana, and central / southern Ohio).

• High proficiency with Microsoft Office products / applications.
• Ability to travel locally and occasional overnight travel (averages no more than four weeks per year).
