Local Government Auditor 

Location: Fargo, ND

Summary of Work:

We’re not the IRS, and we don’t audit your taxes or private businesses. We do however audit state and local government. We’re the team that ensures state and local governments are using taxpayer dollars responsibly and effectively. Our work impacts programs and services you use every day. We’re here to ensure policies are followed, funds are used wisely, and standards are met.

 

Skillset We're Looking For:

We are looking for an auditor to join our Fargo team. We know what you're thinking, there is no degree in "auditing", so what are you looking for? Thanks for asking, here's what we value:

  • Positive Personality. Are you friendly, team-orientated, and ready to collaborate? This is huge for us. 
  • Numbers focus. Yes, we are the Auditor's Office, we do work with numbers. You need to be good at that. 
  • Eagerness to learn. We'll provide the training and support to help you succeed; you bring enthusiasm. 

 

Why You'll Love Working Here: 

  • Work-Life Balance: Everyone says it, we really mean it. We don't want you working over 40 hours in a week, we want you to go live your life outside of work.
  • Hybrid Environment: This position is typically in the office 2-3 days per week once you have passed your 6–12-month probationary period. 
  • Family-First Culture: When you're off work we're not bothering you.
  • Outstanding Benefits: As you maybe have heard, benefits at the state are excellent. 

 

What You'll Be Doing:

Each day will bring something new, but here's a glimpse of what to expect:

  • Review accounting forms, internal controls, and compliance with policies.
  • Examining financial records and processes.
  • Working with your client to explain what you found and help them find ways to improve.
  • Minimal travel required.

 

Why You Should Apply:

If you've made it this far in the job posting and are questioning whether to apply.... just do it! We know that there are no perfect applicants. You may not be able to do 100% of the bullets listed above -- and that's ok. We realize no one majors in auditing. We'll teach you what you need to know. We encourage you to apply if it's a role you think you can be passionate about doing every day.  

 

Minimum Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree or minor in accounting. Applicants who anticipate receiving their degree this semester are eligible to apply, the start date is flexible.
  • Effective oral and written communication skills.
  • Successful completion of reference, background, and criminal record checks.
