USA - Assurance – Financial Accounting Advisory Services (FAAS) - Technical Accounting Advisory Group (TAAG) – 360 Careers Staff

The opportunity

Our Technical Accounting Advisory Group (TAAG) is a national specialty practice within Financial Accounting Advisory Services (FAAS) and works with many of the world’s largest organizations and fastest–growing companies on some of the most complex accounting issues in the market — experience we leverage to provide tailored advice to clients of all sizes. By leveraging our deep technical knowledge and extensive experience, we help simplify complex accounting and reporting problems and provide practical recommendations so that our clients’ finance teams can focus on supporting their businesses.

Successful candidates will assist PPMDs in researching and resolving US GAAP, IFRS and SEC technical questions and drafting related documentation. There are opportunities to improve executive presence, writing, project management and technical skills. TAAG professionals will acquire significant subject matter topical knowledge by collaborating with a diverse group of peers and seasoned partners who assist our clients with the most complex accounting issues. TAAG allows for exposure to different subject matter areas across multiple industries.

The nature of this role means no two project assignments will be the same. That means you will need to think on your feet and challenge existing practices to develop answers to complex issues. You’ll also collaborate with colleagues across multiple service lines, so we’ll look to you to build relationships and identify opportunities for our clients to benefit from our knowledge in other areas.
