Internal Audit Jobs in Arizona: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become an internal audit in Arizona?
Most Arizona internal audit roles require a bachelor's degree in accounting, finance, or business, with employers strongly favoring candidates who hold or are pursuing a Certified Internal Auditor credential from the Institute of Internal Auditors. Arizona has no state-issued license specific to internal auditors, but a CPA from the Arizona State Board of Accountancy significantly strengthens candidacy. Entry-level candidates often start in public accounting or financial analyst roles before transitioning into internal audit.
How much do internal audits make in Arizona?
Internal audits in Arizona earn a median of about $79,970 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $55,430 for the lowest 10% to over $128,890 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire internal audits in Arizona?
Employers hiring internal audits in Arizona right now include Oscar Health, onsemi, and Deloitte, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Arizona's concentration of large healthcare systems, regional banks, and publicly traded mining and technology companies creates consistent demand for internal audit professionals across multiple industries.
Which Arizona cities have the most internal audit jobs?
Phoenix, Tempe, and Arizona account for the most internal audit openings in Arizona. Phoenix dominates hiring as the state's corporate headquarters hub for financial services, healthcare, and energy companies, while Scottsdale and Tempe attract openings tied to fintech firms, insurance carriers, and mid-size publicly traded companies with regional operations headquartered in the East Valley.
Are there remote internal audit jobs in Arizona?
Yes, and more than many fields, since internal audit work is largely analytical and document-based. About 100% of internal audit openings tied to Arizona are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, reflecting the desk-based nature of the role. IT audit and Sarbanes-Oxley compliance testing are the sub-areas most frequently offered on a fully remote basis, while operational audits requiring facility walkthroughs tend to remain on-site.
How can I get hired as an internal audit in Arizona with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is through a staff auditor or audit associate role at one of Arizona's large public accounting firms, which regularly hire new graduates and provide structured training before many professionals move in-house. Banner Health, Intel, and large Phoenix-area financial institutions run rotational finance programs where internal audit is one component. Candidates without experience gain an edge by completing the Certified Internal Auditor exam parts early, building Excel and data analysis skills, and targeting internal audit coordinator or junior compliance analyst roles as a lateral entry point.
