Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Accountant Jobs at CohnReznick
Align your credentials with U.S. standards early
CohnReznick's audit and tax roles typically require CPA eligibility or progress toward it. If your accounting qualification is from Australia or another country, get a credential evaluation through NASBA before you apply so hiring managers can assess your CPA pathway.
Target practice areas with consistent international hiring
CohnReznick's assurance and tax practices hire internationally at the associate and senior associate levels with regularity. Applying to those tracks directly, rather than advisory, gives you the strongest overlap with the roles where sponsorship has historically occurred.
Use Migrate Mate to filter open Accountant roles by visa type
CohnReznick posts Accountant openings across multiple office locations, and eligibility can vary by position. Migrate Mate lets you filter those listings by the visa type you hold, so you're only spending time on roles that match your sponsorship situation.
Raise visa timing before the offer stage
H-1B cap-subject petitions have an April 1 filing window and an October 1 start date. If you're graduating in December or finishing OPT mid-cycle, surface that timeline with your recruiter early so CohnReznick's immigration counsel can plan around it before an offer is extended.
Understand how the LCA affects your work location
CohnReznick operates across many offices and project sites. Your employer files a Labor Condition Application with DOL tied to a specific worksite. If your role involves client travel or hybrid arrangements across states, confirm with HR how LCA coverage handles those assignments.
Prepare a clean employment authorization timeline for onboarding
If you're transitioning from F-1 OPT to H-1B, the 60-day gap-risk period between OPT expiration and H-1B activation is real. Have your I-20, EAD card, and OPT end date documented and ready so CohnReznick's HR team can confirm E-Verify compliance without delays.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does CohnReznick sponsor H-1B visas for Accountants?
Yes, CohnReznick sponsors H-1B visas for Accountant roles. The firm has an established immigration support process and works with outside counsel to file petitions. Because H-1B cap-subject filings must be submitted in April for an October start, timing your application cycle accordingly is important, particularly if you're coming off F-1 OPT.
How do I apply for Accountant jobs at CohnReznick?
You can browse and apply for Accountant openings at CohnReznick through Migrate Mate, which filters listings by visa type so you can identify roles that match your sponsorship needs. CohnReznick recruits heavily from campus programs and experienced hire pipelines, so applying during active recruiting seasons, typically fall for new graduates and year-round for experienced roles, improves your chances.
Which visa types does CohnReznick commonly sponsor for Accountant roles?
CohnReznick sponsors H-1B visas as the primary long-term work authorization path for Accountants. The firm also supports F-1 OPT and CPT for students and recent graduates, E-3 visas for Australian citizens, TN visas for Canadian and Mexican nationals in qualifying accounting roles, and J-1 visas in specific training or exchange contexts.
What qualifications does CohnReznick expect for sponsored Accountant positions?
Most sponsored Accountant roles at CohnReznick require a bachelor's or master's degree in accounting or a closely related field. CPA eligibility is expected for audit and tax tracks, and progress toward licensure is often factored into hiring decisions. For H-1B specialty occupation requirements, the degree must be directly tied to the specific accounting duties of the role.
How do I plan the visa timeline when joining CohnReznick as an international Accountant?
If you're on F-1 OPT, coordinate your OPT end date with CohnReznick's HR team well before expiration so an H-1B petition can be filed in the April window. USCIS standard processing takes three to five months, but premium processing is available for a faster decision. Starting that conversation at the offer stage, not after onboarding, prevents authorization gaps.
