Sr. Internal Auditor

Internal Auditor (SOX)

Robert Half is partnering with a well-established SEC registrant with a significant presence in the Houston market to identify an Internal Auditor for an immediate opening. This is an outstanding opportunity to join a highly respected internal audit team within a company that values work-life balance, embraces technology, and continues to invest in data analytics and AI to enhance the audit function.

This is a primarily remote/work-from-home position designed for professionals who reside in the Greater Houston area. While the role offers exceptional flexibility, candidates should be available to attend in-office meetings and on-site work approximately three weeks per year (about 15 business days annually). This schedule is planned well in advance, allowing employees to enjoy the benefits of a remote position while maintaining meaningful collaboration with their team.

The Internal Auditor will join a team of six professionals with a primary focus on Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) compliance and internal control audits. The company is looking for individuals who enjoy leveraging technology and data analytics to improve audit effectiveness and drive meaningful business insights.

What You'll Do

• Execute SOX audits and evaluate the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting.
• Perform risk assessments, testing of key controls, and documentation of audit findings.
• Partner with business leaders and process owners to identify control improvements and operational efficiencies.
• Analyze large data sets using technology and data analytics tools to enhance audit testing and identify trends, anomalies, and risks.
• Assist with process improvement initiatives and contribute to the ongoing evolution of the internal audit function through automation and AI-enabled solutions.
• Prepare clear, concise audit workpapers and reports for management.
• Collaborate with internal stakeholders while maintaining strong professional relationships across the organization.
• Participate in occasional operational or financial audits as needed.

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting or a related field.
• CPA and/or CIA certification strongly preferred.
• Public accounting experience combined with industry internal audit experience is highly preferred.
• Experience performing SOX compliance and internal control testing for an SEC registrant.
• Strong understanding of internal controls, risk assessment, and audit methodology.
• Experience with data analytics tools and advanced Excel skills. Candidates who have utilized technology, automation, AI, Power BI, Alteryx, ACL, IDEA, or similar tools to improve audit effectiveness are highly preferred.
• Must reside in the Greater Houston market and be available for periodic in-office meetings and on-site collaboration.
• Excellent communication, analytical, and organizational skills.
• Ability to work independently in a remote environment while collaborating effectively with a team.

Qualifications:

• At least 3 years of experience in internal audit, corporate audit, or a closely related assurance function.
• Demonstrated ability to create audit plans and execute structured audit programs from planning through reporting.
• Experience evaluating internal controls and preparing well-supported audit findings and recommendations.
• Strong understanding of corporate internal audit practices, risk assessment methods, and compliance principles.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to present conclusions to stakeholders clearly.
• Strong analytical skills and attention to detail when reviewing data, documentation, and business processes.
• Ability to manage multiple assignments, meet deadlines, and work effectively with cross-functional teams.
