• Audit defined contribution pension plans, defined benefit pension plans, and health and welfare plans.
• Assist with wrap-up and review after audit fieldwork to include finalizing work papers and checklists, primarily on EBP audits
  
• Draft client reports/financials and related management and Board letters, and all related reporting procedures
• Report audit findings to stakeholders
• Train and develop other staff members
• Maintain an excellent working relationship with clients and team members
