Job Summary:
Our client is seeking experienced Risk Advisory professionals to provide short-term contractor support for both Business Process and IT workstreams within their Internal Controls over Financial Reporting (ICFR) practice. Due to a sharp increase in workload and limited internal capacity, several projects are currently unstaffed or understaffed.

The selected contractors will play a critical role in bridging immediate resource gaps while full-time recruiting efforts continue. These engagements are ideal for consultants who thrive in dynamic environments, can deliver quickly, and bring strong SOX/ICFR and risk advisory expertise.

Responsibilities:

• Lead or support ICFR (Internal Controls over Financial Reporting) and SOX compliance engagements across both Business Process and IT workstreams.
• Assess, design, and test internal controls for public company clients.
• Contribute to multiple projects simultaneously, ensuring quality and timely delivery.
• Collaborate with client teams to identify risks, design remediation plans, and enhance control frameworks.
• Support IT control assessments, including ITGCs and application control testing, as applicable.
• Communicate effectively with client stakeholders, providing clear updates and recommendations.
• Quickly integrate into client environments and adapt to evolving priorities and workloads.

Qualifications:

• Prior experience with Big 4, Next4, Next8, or Protiviti-type consulting firms preferred
• Proven track record in public company internal audit, SOX, or ICFR environments
• Risk advisory or internal audit consulting experience strongly preferred
• Open to candidates outside Big 4 firms who have robust public company SOX/ICFR experience
• Not suitable for professionals focused solely on private company internal audit work

Technical Skills

• Solid understanding of IT General Controls (ITGCs) and SOX frameworks
• No specific ERP system experience required

Soft Skills

• Exceptional communication and stakeholder management abilities
• Proven ability to work effectively in fast-paced, high-intensity environments
• Comfortable balancing client-facing responsibilities with remote collaboration
• Strong adaptability and professional presence
