Audit Manager Jobs in Minnesota: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a audit manager in Minnesota?
Most audit manager roles in Minnesota require a CPA license issued or recognized by the Minnesota Board of Accountancy, which administers the Uniform CPA Examination and sets education and experience requirements. Candidates typically complete a bachelor's degree in accounting or finance, pass all four CPA exam sections, and accumulate several years of public accounting or internal audit experience before stepping into a management role. A CIA designation from the Institute of Internal Auditors strengthens candidacy, particularly for internal audit positions.
How much do audit managers make in Minnesota?
Audit managers in Minnesota earn a median of about $81,600 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $58,280 for the lowest 10% to over $138,960 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire audit managers in Minnesota?
Minnesota audit manager roles are posted by UnitedHealth, Mahoney | CPA and Advisors, and 3M and others right now, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Minnesota's concentration of Fortune 500 headquarters in the Twin Cities, particularly in financial services and healthcare, means a large share of postings come from well-established employers with mature, ongoing audit functions.
Which Minnesota cities have the most audit manager jobs?
Minneapolis, Saint Paul, and Eden Prairie account for the most audit manager openings in Minnesota. The Twin Cities dominate because of the heavy concentration of corporate headquarters, regional bank operations, and large healthcare systems there, while Rochester's hiring is driven primarily by the Mayo Clinic and its affiliated medical enterprises.
Are there remote audit manager jobs in Minnesota?
Yes, and more than many financial roles, because much of an audit manager's planning, documentation, and team coordination work can be done off-site. About 75% of audit manager openings tied to Minnesota are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting how common hybrid schedules have become for desk-based finance roles. The portions most likely to remain on-site are fieldwork phases and stakeholder interviews.
How can I get hired as a audit manager in Minnesota with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is landing a staff or senior auditor role at a public accounting firm or a large corporate internal audit department in the Twin Cities, then working toward promotion. Employers such as major regional banks and healthcare systems in Minnesota hire into associate or senior auditor positions and promote from within. Passing the CPA exam early, earning a CIA credential, or completing a rotational finance program at a Minnesota-based employer significantly strengthens the case for advancement into a manager title.
Where can I find and apply to audit manager jobs in Minnesota?
You can find and apply to audit manager jobs in Minnesota on Migrate Mate, which lists current Minnesota openings from employers actively hiring in the state. Search the listings, find roles that match your experience and target location, and apply directly to each one.
