In today's competitive deal market, Private Equity is increasingly turning to operational enhancements as a driver for value creation in their investment portfolio. It is essential for Private Equity funds to have a portfolio support team, either internally or externally, to guide CFOs as they build a scalable accounting and finance function that supports the investment thesis. We are experienced operators, who serve as an extension of leading Private Equity sponsors to drive meaningful and sustainable operational changes across their portfolios.

- Provide expert advice and guidance to private equity-owned portfolio companies on inventory management strategies, operational efficiency, and financial performance.
- Help companies develop and operationalize US-GAAP compliant inventory accounting policies including appropriate capitalization thresholds, reserve methodology, and best-in-class month-end close procedures.
- Design, implement, and improve standard costing systems to help management teams better assess product level profitability.
- Develop and implement frameworks for budgeting, cost control, and performance evaluation by comparing actual costs to standard costs, identifying variances, and advising on corrective actions to enhance efficiency and profitability.
- Develop and maintain relationships with portfolio company representatives and Private Equity sponsors, collaborating with CrossCountry team members to scope, clarify, and deliver excellent client service.
- Contribute to developing and implementing firm-approved, AI-enabled solutions for clients, in accordance with company policies on data protection, intellectual property, and professional standards.
- Stay informed about emerging AI tools and techniques and collaborate with firm leadership to identify compliant opportunities to enhance client solutions and internal processes.
- Cultivate new client relationships and deepen existing ones.
- Mentor team members by coaching colleagues, providing regular ongoing feedback and annual performance reviews, and helping project teams resolve multi-faceted issues.
What You'll Bring:
- 6+ years of experience in or plant controllership and/or FP&A, preferably in a Private Equity backed environment.
- Experience in both operations analysis and cost accounting (standard costing, activity-based costing, and variance analysis), with a deep understanding of controllership responsibilities in a manufacturing/distribution environment.
- Demonstrated experience driving improvements and optimizing performance across manufacturing and distribution operations.
- Experience working with the Controller group and accounting team, with strong knowledge of key income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow drivers.
- Experience mentoring and developing junior team members and helping project teams resolve multi-faceted issues.
- Consistent success in building and developing strong client relationships.
- Advanced expertise of Microsoft Excel (e.g., macros, pivot tables, etc.) and PowerPoint
- Experience with enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems commonly used in manufacturing, such as SAP, Oracle, or Microsoft Dynamics.
- Comfort with AI: Demonstrated ability to responsibly explore and adopt firm-approved AI tools to enhance productivity and innovation.
- Continuous Learning Mindset: Openness to learning and applying emerging technologies including AI and automation in alignment with firm policies and client standards.
- Knowledge of data analytics and related tools (e.g., Tableau, Alteryx, SQL) is a plus, but not required.
- Client Services experience (e.g., Audit, Advisory, Management Consulting) is a plus, but not required.
Qualifications:
- Bachelor's degree in accounting or finance.
- Willingness to travel up to 50%; travel varies based on client preferences.
