Managers are responsible to Partners, Directors, and Senior Managers. Managers exhibit the ability to monitor, develop, train, and fully utilize staff members in conjunction with the timely completion of assigned responsibilities. Managers demonstrate strong judgment and communication skills which earn the confidence of clients and superiors. Managers often have primary client responsibility, and, in some cases, a Manager is assigned other key areas of responsibility, including technical and administrative duties. Although exceptions can be made with approval of Human Resources and the Managing Partner, being a CPA is a presumptively mandatory requirement of the Manager position.
