Audit Manager

Audit Manager

There's a better way to do public accounting.

At Swindoll, Janzen, Hawk & Loyd (SJHL), we’re building a firm where Audit Managers can lead meaningful client relationships, develop their teams, and still maintain a life outside of work.

If you’re ready to step into a role with more ownership, closer client connections, and a more sustainable pace—this could be a great fit.

WHAT MAKES THIS ROLE DIFFERENT

• We’re intentional about workload and sustainability—our goal is a more balanced busy season, not the typical 60–80 hour grind
• You’ll work directly with local clients and decision-makers, not through layers
• Real leadership opportunity—manage engagements, develop team members, and influence outcomes
• Strong, collaborative team environment—you’re not carrying it alone
• Variety of work across audit, with exposure to CAS and advisory depending on your interests

WE'RE LOOKING FOR SOMEONE

• With over five years' of public accounting audit experience (EBPs & Non-Profit a plus!)
• With a Bachelor's Degree in Accounting
• Who is an active CPA
• Who takes ownership and enjoys developing other

THIS IS WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Lead audit engagements from planning through completion
• Build and manage strong client relationships with local organizations and businesses
• Review financial statements and related disclosures
• Coach, mentor, and develop associates and seniors
• Manage engagement timelines, budgets, and overall client experience
• Partner with firm leadership to continuously improve processes and client service

HERE ARE SOME OF THE THINGS WE OFFER

• A commitment to work-life balance all year (yes, even during tax season) through our Path to 45 initiative - ask us more about it!
• Competitive benefits package including 401(k), paid time off, insurance plans (firm pays 100% of single policy) and paid holidays
• First 15 Reading Program: start your day off right with a book each day for 15 minutes
• Get involved with our Wellness Program
• Unique quarterly all staff events planned by our social committee

About SJHL

• We’re a locally owned firm with offices across Kansas and New Mexico, focused on helping our clients, communities, and each other get from where they are to where they want to be.
• Our teams work closely with local businesses and organizations—so you can see the direct impact of your work.
