Audit Manager

Half the job is closing the books; the other half is explaining what they mean, and Shopping Partners LLC needs both from its Audit Manager. Reduce it to essentials and you have $112,000 - $165,000, an IL Audit Manager seat, 8 years asked, and a clear climb ahead.

Key Responsibilities

• Lean on Accounts Receivable and Self-Motivation to automate what used to be manual
• Own the manager sign-off on journal entries above the threshold
• Keep the IL unemployment and withholding accounts perfectly square
• Audit travel and entertainment spend without becoming the bad guy
• Build and maintain budgets, forecasts, and variance analyses for Shopping Partners LLC
• Shepherd the year-end performance-driven audit from PBC list to signed opinion
• Validate revenue recognition in line with current accounting standards
• Partner with department heads across Elgin, IL to keep budgets honest

What You'll Bring

• Knowledge of IL-specific regulations relevant to finance work
• A growth mindset that treats feedback as fuel, not threat
• The diplomacy to align stakeholders who don't agree yet
• Confident communicator across email, calls, and in-person meetings
• Sound instincts for reading a room you've never been in before
• At least 7 years building expertise within the finance space

Shopping Partners LLC partners with organizations across Elgin, IL to bring supportive thinking to everyday finance challenges. We move fast on QuickBooks but slow down whenever someone says they feel rushed past good judgment.

Come grow with us: $112,000 - $165,000 to start, a mentor to guide, benefits to lean on, and hours flexible enough for Elgin living.
