• We offer a unique and comprehensive compensation package, including a consistent track record of maximum bonus payout and an upside in compensation when our practice exceeds its annual financial goals.
• Promotions and career advancement are based on ability and talent, not tenure - our merit-based promotions provide opportunity to accelerate your career trajectory.
• Our unique approach to practice and client management offers opportunities for autonomy and predictability in schedule from week-to-week, as well as reduced travel compared to industry standard - allowing our people to better plan their work activities and personal lives.
• We place significant emphasis on the value of personal time. We understand that professional opportunities and advancement are important to you, but that time for family, friends and personal pursuits are essential to your life and overall fulfillment. Making sure that team members have flexibility at work, opportunities to enjoy evenings and weekends and to truly disconnect for holidays and time off is critical to each team member's professional engagement and personal well-being.
• When times get tough, we get tougher - and we stand by our people. We had extremely high retention during the pandemic - and we maintained our regular cycle of compensation increases and paid out substantially full bonuses to our team members throughout the uncertain time.

Though we hope that you continue to grow with our firm and progress through the leadership levels, we are equally committed to advancing your professional skills and career opportunities wherever they may lead which could include, but not limited to, a Controller or CFO role within a private equity business, a strategic M&A advisor, or finance operating partner within a private equity firm, etc.
