Nonprofit Year-End Audit (Public Accounting Experience Required)
Budget: $15 – $25 USD
I need an experienced staff-level external auditor to jump in immediately and help me finish the year-end audit for a small community theatre nonprofit.
This role is not bookkeeping, writing, marketing, virtual assistance, or financial analysis. I am specifically looking for someone who has worked in public accounting performing external financial statement audits. The engagement is already scoped and planned; what remains is mostly hands-on, substantive testing, tie-outs of workpapers, analytics, and assembling the final audit package, including the financial statements and related note disclosures.
Key context
• Entity: 501(c)(3) community theatre (modest budget, limited staff).
• Records: The data file and prior-year workpapers are all in excel.
• Financials required: Income Statement, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow Statement, and a Statement of Functional Expenses.
What I need from you
• Complete the outstanding testing and analytics (expect roughly 15-25 billable hours).
• Trace and agree all lead sheets to the trial balance, then to the draft financials.
• Flag any variances or unusual trends and document your conclusions in the workpapers.
• Assemble the final audit package—with properly cross-referenced notes—so it is ready for manager review.
To apply
In your proposal, briefly state:
Your public accounting background (firm type + years)
Your experience with financial statement audits
The specific audit areas you have executed (e.g., cash, revenue, expenses, net assets, functional expenses)
Everything must be wrapped up no later than Friday, 2 / 6 / 2026, so availability and quick turnaround are critical. I will be online throughout the week to answer questions, provide supporting schedules, and sign off on your work. If you have recent nonprofit audit experience I’d like to start as soon as we agree on access protocols.
