No, you can get more than that.

What was your previous career ?

Hell no

That’s what someone with zero experience and no cpa can make at HCOL in audit. You have seven YoE and CPA. That’s way below for you.

I just got offered for a senior IA position with 1 YOE in external audit in LCOL area making $87k with 10% bonus. So I’d expect at least 95k for you.

like

Nice, congrats! That seems like really good opportunity especially in LCOL.

Sounds right with ONLY 1 YOE. I think you’ll be able to do 90k if you ask, but you’ll have less leverage since you have less experience. Note that your 7 YOE from your prior career is irrelevant and won’t help you.

You should be well into 6 figures at this point especially in HCOL

like

With a CPA, you should have six figures at minimum. Internal Audit also sucks badly, so don't think about it unless it pays more than what is being offered here.

This is low, don’t do it. You could find something that offers at least $110k in HCOL

$110k with one year experience for internal audit or even another similar accounting role? Sounds way off. Not getting that in NYC. I don't know what HCOL city you would get that.
