The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  Ross Stores is hiring a External Auditor in Charleston, WV.

• Role description

  When the numbers and the narrative disagree, Ross Stores trusts its External Auditor to find out which one is lying. The offer reads simply — contract, $65,000 - $97,000, 4 years, and a mid-level role where ownership is not a perk but the point.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Prepare and review monthly, quarterly, and annual financial statements
  • Process payroll, expense reports, and vendor payments accurately
  • Build the finance P&L bridge that explains every dollar of swing
  • Lean on CMA Certification and Team Leadership to automate what used to be manual
  • Reconcile general ledger accounts and resolve discrepancies in a timely manner

  What You'll Bring

  • 5+ years navigating the politics that finance work attracts
  • The discipline to document while it's fresh, not after it's forgotten
  • Hands-on finance experience that holds up to follow-up questions
  • Proven CMA Certification results, ideally seasoned in Charleston, WV

  Plenty of firms claim to do finance; Ross Stores actually does it, and from Charleston no less, with a design-led stubbornness about quality. Feedback flows in every direction, so good ideas reach the table no matter who voices them.

  What sits behind the $65,000 - $97,000 offer is a Ross Stores culture built on real mentorship, generous benefits, and schedules that bend toward family.
