About The Position

Aprio is seeking a dynamic Manager to join their Technology Client Accounting & Advisory Services (CAAS) team.

The Manager will leverage AI-native tools to deliver financials efficiently and develop scalable templates, models, and processes. This dual-role position involves delivering services within an AI-enabled startup pod and supporting complex client projects. The Manager will report to the Senior Manager, Technology CAAS, with a dotted-line into the startup pod.

The Manager will also create reusable assets for the broader group.
