About The Position

At Mahoney, we have a passion for precision by going beyond completing necessary tasks to deliver financial peace of mind.

We perform a wide range of specialized audits, including HUD audits, employee benefit plans, and single audits. Located just outside downtown St. Paul along the Mississippi River, Mahoney has been recognized multiple times by Accounting Today, the StarTribune, and the Twin Cities Business Magazine as a top workplace. Since 1989, we've provided comprehensive audit, tax, and consulting services for individuals, businesses, real estate developers, and nonprofit organizations.

You will help plan, supervise, review, and complete engagements while ensuring project runs efficiently and meets the firm's standards for quality and accuracy. As the role advances, your technical skills are applied more strategically. Advanced Microsoft Excel capabilities (e.g. advanced pivot tables, pivot charts, data modeling, dynamic arrays, lookup functions, logical formulas, and aggregation formulas) support large-scale data analysis, financial report creation and management, and the automation of tasks that enhance accuracy and efficiency. As your master deepens, you'll use that expertise to refine staff work and elevate their technical skills. You'll also apply this knowledge to more complex issues, resolving nuanced challenges, and reinforcing the firm's approach to delivering reliable results. You will guide staff through their work, provide clear and constructive feedback, support their development as they advance in their careers. This mentorship helps shape strong future leaders, and your insight becomes a trusted resource for your team. Your work also extends to building and fortifying client relationships. You will develop new contact, nurture existing partnerships, and recognize opportunities to expand the services we provide. Collaboration is key, and the role contributes to proposal preparation that reflects client goals and the firm's capabilities. Additional work hours are required from January through April 15th.
