    Description
    Company Overview

    There's a better way to work in finance—and more specifically, a better way to unlock value potential in private equity-backed portfolio companies.

    Working at the intersection of sponsors and management teams across every stage of the investment lifecycle, our team provides hands-on, execution-oriented support to elevate the office of the CFO.


    So, what does it mean to work at Accordion? It means joining 1,000+ finance & technology experts in a high-growth, agile, and entrepreneurial environment while changing the way portfolio companies drive value.

    It also means making your mark on Accordion's future—by embracing a culture rooted in collaboration and a firm-wide commitment to building something great, together.

    Accordion is headquartered in New York City with 11 offices around the globe. Join us


    Transformation:
    Finance Transformation


    With the increase in complexity of the business environment and transactions, CFOs of private equity backed companies are increasingly being looked towards to drive strategic insights for their business.

    Finance organizations are no longer simply result reporters, but rather, they couple these results with forward looking data to provide strategic insights which are leveraged to make business decisions.

    Efficiency of process and meaningful control environments allows for speed of financial reporting with increasingly accurate measures, leaving more time for the finance team to add future enterprise value, rather than look backwards.


    Accordion's Transformation Practice is comprised of a dedicated team providing strategic advice to support PE backed portfolio companies on a wide range of transactions and events, including profitability improvements, finance process optimization, liquidity enhancements and digital transformation transaction.

    We are doers and problem solvers – making sense of complexity and bolstering sponsors' value creation thesis's.

    This role can be based in any of our US office locations and is a hybrid role.

    Ideal candidates should be local to the desired location, with the flexibility to work remotely 2-3 days a week, blending the best of both worlds for efficiency and collaboration.

    Interact and build relationships with C-level personnel at portfolio company as well as representatives from Private Equity sponsors

    Assist in growing the firm by identifying and driving business development activities

    Identify and sponsor internal initiatives


    Ideally, You Have:
    Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance or related field. MBA is a plus

    Minimum 3+ years of relevant professional experience working in a client serving role at a top-tier public accounting or financial advisory firm, and/or mix of client service and private industry experience at a senior level

    Proven experience successfully managing multiple projects at the same time, managing not only client/sponsor dynamics but internal team dynamics as well

    A strong and up-to date knowledge of strategic finance best practices specifically related to the professionalization of the finance function

    Subject matter expert in financial business processes including order-to-cash, procure-to-pay, record-to-report, FP&A, as well as other functions under the CFO purview

    Extensive expertise related to the design and implementation of strategies, processes and technology which increase effectiveness, reduce costs and improve profit/shareholder value

    Experience designing and enhancing financial processes including Finance Automation and Technology deployment

    Experience performing financial and operational assessments

    Experience driving strategic finance transformations

    Experience working with Private Equity, with an understanding of the unique requirements of the Private Equity consulting environment

    Strong Excel and PowerPoint skills

    Strong client service mindset


    Ideally, You Are:
    A self-starter with a strong work ethic

    A leader of others; you lead by example

    A strong team player, able to work with team members across all levels

    Able to effectively communicate complex issues and solutions, and raise issues to senior team members when necessary

    Comfortable managing projects with multiple complex workstreams while also focused on your single workstream (you are managing and doing).

    Excited to be part of a growing team, with a focus on driving future growth

    Full of entrepreneurial spirit and comfortable in a fluid, flat organization

    Knowledgeable about the relationship between Private Equity sponsors and their portfolio companies

    Passionate about delivering exceptional client service

    Someone who enjoys mentoring others and doing meaningful work

    Willing to get your hands dirty in the details of a project while simultaneously seeing the whole picture

    Willing to travel according to client needs

    Salary:
    $115,000 to $135,000 + benefits + bonus
