About the role

Original posting from Clark via Ashby

Clark builds AI that does audit fieldwork. 30 CPA firms use it today. We're hiring auditors to help those firms get it running on real engagements, and to tell our engineers what needs to change.
If you've been in public accounting for a few years and you're wondering what's next, this is worth a look. You'd still work with audit teams every day, and your technical knowledge would matter as much as it does now. The difference is that you'd also work closely with our engineers and product team, and the fixes you push for end up in a product dozens of firms rely on. It's a good way to learn how software gets built without walking away from the expertise you've spent years developing.
What you'd be doing
Getting to know how each firm runs its audits, then helping them set up and start using Clark
Working with partners, managers, and staff to rethink parts of their workflow now that some of the fieldwork is automated
Holding weekly check-ins with your firms and helping with pilots when we release something new
Writing up problems customers run into as Linear issues and following them until they're fixed
Sitting down with Product and Engineering to figure out what to build next
Improving how we onboard new firms as we grow
Who we're looking for
At least 3 years of audit experience. Big 4 or a Top 25 firm is ideal
A CPA is a plus
You know audit methodology well and understand how engagement teams actually get the work
done
You're comfortable managing a few customer relationships at the same time
You're interested in technology and want to see what AI can do for audit
It helps if you've used audit software or tools like Alteryx, Power BI, or SQL, worked on an innovation project at your firm, or done implementation or consulting work. You don't need to have worked at a startup before.
The details
We work in the office in NYC five days a week. It's a startup, so the hours are long and things move quickly. There's no hierarchy here; everyone builds things and owns their results.
Benefits include unlimited PTO, full health, dental, and vision coverage, a Wellhub Platinum membership, and dinner in the office every night.
