From the beginning, our goal was to establish an advisory firm that stands apart from the rest – one that is grounded in our Core Values and dedicated to creating a positive experience not just for our clients, but for our people too. We firmly believe in the strength of collaboration, enthusiasm, generosity, and perseverance as the driving forces behind our success. With advisory solutions spanning accounting and risk, technology-enabled transformation, and transactions, we partner with our clients to solve today’s challenges and deliver present and future value.

Our commitment to our people has earned us numerous awards including Inc5000's Fastest Growing Companies and Glassdoor's Best Places to Work. Explore what our employees have to say about our unique culture by clicking here.

By joining our rapidly growing Accounting Advisory practice, you will serve as a trusted partner to our clientsacross a broad range of industries, company stages, and sizes, including early-stage, emerging growth, middle-market, and large, complex organizations. Our work spans both public and private companies, with significant exposure to Private Equity–backed portfolio companies. You’ll bring your first-hand experience, unique perspectives, and functional knowledge to deliver tailored integrated solutions that help our clients solve today's challenges and set the foundation for future success.

  • Validate the existence of assets and prepare associated roll forwards
  • Prepare balance sheet reconciliations (intercompany, inventory, cash, prepaids, etc.)
  • Support various aspects of accounting compliance, including tax forms, sales tax exemptions, 1099s, etc., while also contributing to the preparation of financial statements and the development of internal controls and policies
  • Help prepare budgets or forecasts and develop reports for management or regulatory bodies
  • Guide the implementation of cloud-based finance and accounting systems
  • Manage the preparation of journal entries, invoices, and reconciliation of accounts during monthly or annual closings
  • Guide companies through efficient external audit processes
  • Financial Reporting Support
  • Support SEC filing, design of reporting processes, restatement assistance, and traditional 10-K, 10-Q, and 8-K filings
  • Improve financial planning and analysis (budgeting, forecasting, data analysis)
  • Review of monthly internal financial reporting packs
  • Review of monthly regulatory reporting
  • Operations Support
  • Liaise with business units outside of accounting to integrate business operations
  • Advise clients on leveraging AI and automation tools to streamline close processes, improve forecasting, and enhance data driven decision making

  • Continuous Learning Mindset: Openness to learning and applying emerging technologies including AI and automation in alignment with firm policies and client standards
What You'll Bring:
  • 10+ years of experience spanning advisory and controllership roles for commercial or PE-backed portfolio companies, supported by a strong foundation in professional services (public accounting, advisory firm, or management consulting firm) and 2+ years of hands-on Controllership experience in emerging growth middle market organizations and/or PE-backed portfolio companies (Software SAAS or Healthcare, or a broad B2B industry exposure preferred)
  • Hands-on experience to various ERP systems and tools such as: NetSuite, Sage, MS Dynamics, QuickBooks, Workiva, DFIN, Tableau, PowerBI, Alteryx, Snowflake, SQL, Python
  • Ability to leverage AI and automation to optimize accounting processes, enhance reporting accuracy, and drive operational efficiency

  • Bachelor’s degree in in Accounting, Finance, or related field
  • CPA or CA certification preferred
Travel:
  • Willingness to travel domestically up to 40% (With that said, our approach to travel is a thoughtful, meaningful one and we do our best to avoid scheduling back-to-back extended travel projects.
