Audit Associate (Remote, USA-Based)

About the role

Manay CPA, a global accounting and advisory firm with over 20 years of experience, is looking for an Audit Associate to work remotely from Turkey. The role is designed to give hands-on experience with U.S. GAAP, audit standards, tax codes and business operations, with work hours based on U.S. Eastern Time. It is a hybrid role by design, combining audit work with bookkeeping, tax return preparation and financial reporting support, especially outside peak audit season.

Key responsibilities

• Support the onboarding of new audit clients and set up audit workflows and documentation.
• Take part in day-to-day audit tasks: risk assessment, planning, fieldwork, workpaper preparation and audit program completion.
• Use company software to complete audit, reporting and compliance tasks accurately and efficiently.
• Prepare audit schedules, management letters, reconciliations and other audit documentation in line with professional standards.
• Perform substantive testing and analytical procedures to check the accuracy and completeness of financial statements.
• Analyze financial data to spot trends, anomalies and risks, and research complex auditing, accounting and regulatory issues.
• Assist with U.S. federal and state compliance, including year-end reporting and filing support.
• Contribute to special projects and financial report preparation as needed.

Required profile

• Bachelor's degree in accounting, finance, economics, business or a related field.
• 3+ years of experience in auditing, accounting and/or tax, including leading fieldwork or reviewing junior staff work.
• Comfortable working across audit, accounting and tax engagements; audit-only candidates are unlikely to be a good fit.
• Excellent written and verbal Business English; all interviews are in English.
• Quantitative and analytical mindset, attention to detail, organization and ability to prioritize in a fast-paced environment.

Required skills

• Extensive knowledge of Microsoft Office, especially Excel.
• Experience with audit or accounting software systems is a big plus.
• Turkish CPA (SMMM) or sworn-in CPA (YMM) license, public accounting or external audit experience, and US GAAP/IFRS experience are a big plus.

What we offer

• Competitive USD base salary.
• Fully remote work from anywhere in Turkey.
• Onboarding, ongoing training and continued professional development.
• Exposure to clients in a variety of industries.
