Auditor Jobs in Virginia: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a auditor in Virginia?
To become a licensed CPA in Virginia, you must meet the education requirements set by the Virginia Board of Accountancy, pass all four sections of the Uniform CPA Examination, and complete the required experience hours under a licensed CPA. The Virginia Board of Accountancy oversees licensure and reciprocity for out-of-state applicants. For internal or government audit roles, credentials such as the CIA or CISA can substitute for or complement CPA licensure depending on the employer.
How much do auditors make in Virginia?
Auditors in Virginia earn a median of about $93,290 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $60,000 for the lowest 10% to over $156,730 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire auditors in Virginia?
Employers hiring auditors in Virginia right now include Coast to Coast Merchandising and Installations, Sikich, and Brown Edwards, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Virginia's concentration of federal agencies and defense contractors means government audit and compliance roles account for a significant share of openings alongside traditional public accounting and corporate internal audit positions.
Which Virginia cities have the most auditor jobs?
Richmond, Alexandria, and Arlington are the cities with the most auditor openings in Virginia. Northern Virginia leads because of its dense cluster of federal agencies, defense contractors, and government consulting firms, while Richmond draws demand from state government, financial institutions, and regional corporate headquarters, and Virginia Beach reflects the military and federal presence anchoring the Hampton Roads economy.
Are there remote auditor jobs in Virginia?
Yes, and more than many fields, since audit work centered on document review, financial analysis, and reporting translates well to remote settings. About 35% of auditor openings tied to Virginia are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, reflecting how broadly the profession has adapted. IT audit and internal audit roles tend to carry the most remote flexibility, while on-site fieldwork requirements make fully remote arrangements less common in government and external audit positions.
How can I get hired as a auditor in Virginia with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying for staff auditor or audit associate roles at public accounting firms operating in Northern Virginia or Richmond, where firms regularly hire candidates who have completed a bachelor's degree in accounting or finance and are actively pursuing CPA licensure. Large government contractors such as Booz Allen Hamilton and SAIC run associate and entry-level compliance analyst programs that accept candidates without prior audit experience. Internships through Virginia's public universities also feed directly into full-time offers, and passing even one section of the CPA exam signals seriousness to hiring managers.
Where can I find and apply to auditor jobs in Virginia?
You can find and apply to auditor jobs in Virginia on Migrate Mate, which lists current Virginia openings updated regularly. Search the available roles, find the ones that fit your background and target market, and apply directly to each position through the listing.
