This position offers the chance to contribute to a critical phase of internal audit work during a year-end compliance cycle and system implementation. You’ll gain valuable experience supporting SOX testing, control assessments, and external auditor collaboration while working closely with an experienced internal audit team. The role provides exposure to evolving systems and processes in a dynamic environment, making it an ideal opportunity for an audit professional looking to strengthen their technical, compliance, and analytical skills. The temporary nature of the engagement also makes it a strong fit for candidates seeking impactful, project-based work within a corporate audit function.

This role focuses on routine SOX testing, compliance reviews, and direct support to external auditors. The position requires strong attention to detail, the ability to follow established procedures, and a collaborative approach to working with both internal stakeholders and external audit partners.

Key Responsibilities
• Execute SOX compliance testing and document results in accordance with internal audit standards.
• Perform control testing and assist in evaluating the design and effectiveness of internal controls.
• Support external auditor requests by gathering documentation and preparing audit evidence.
• Maintain organized and accurate audit workpapers in accordance with department guidelines.
• Identify potential control gaps or process improvement opportunities and communicate findings to audit leadership.
• Assist with audit procedures related to system implementation, including process documentation and control mapping.
• Collaborate with internal audit and business teams to support readiness activities tied to new systems or process changes.
This temporary assignment is expected to run approximately from December through March, with the possibility of flexibility depending on business needs and project timelines.

Qualifications:

Required:
• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.
• 1–3 years of audit, accounting, or SOX compliance experience (public accounting or internal audit).
• Strong understanding of internal controls, testing procedures, and audit documentation standards.
• Excellent organizational and time management skills with the ability to handle multiple priorities.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Excel and other data analysis or audit tools.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills with attention to accuracy and detail.

Preferred:
• CPA, CIA, or progress toward a professional certification.
• Experience supporting system implementations, particularly ERP systems such as SAP S/4HANA.
• Prior experience assisting with external audit coordination or year-end SOX testing cycles.
