Description

I'm currently partnering with a high-growth professional services firm backed by a leading private equity group. With multiple recent transactions-and more on the horizon-the company is accelerating both organic and M& A growth.

The CEO is now looking for their FIRST finance team member (Director of FP& A/maybe open to VP title based on experience) focused purely on building, scaling, and implementing the FP& A (Financial Planning & Analysis) function. This is not a Controllership role in disguise, nor is it M& A/due diligence (being handled by the PE team)-this is a hands-on FP& A function.

Quick highlights:

• Report directly to the CEO, with dotted line to the PE firm's CFO
• Collaborate cross-functionally: stakeholder exposure at month-end and during reporting cycles
• Partner with an established Controller and third-party accounting team-you're driving FP& A, not closing the books

As always, this is a permanent, full time, fully benefited salaried position (this is NOT a temp role or temp to perm).

The role will be 1x day onsite in NYC where the PE and one of the co-founders are located. The rest will be remote.

The Director of FP& A (potentially will give a VP title based on experience).

Compensation is based on experience, between $185k - $250k base + 25% discretionary bonus + equity

The role will cover:

• Experience working with a PE firm, understands reporting, expectations etc.
• Experience presenting to C Suite, PE and the Board
• Experience building and scaling a FP& A function
• Implementing best practices, controls, systems
• Strong Financial Modeling and budgeting

Who are you?

• Experience with Private Equity sponsors and/or Intuitional Investors
• A minimum of a BA/BS in Finance from a top accredited school
• A MBA is highly desirable
• 5+ years of experience in a leadership role at the Director/VP level

Exceptional communications skills are required. A great dynamic personality and the ability to work along your fellow colleagues is crucial. He or she must be able to effectively collaborate with individuals both inside and outside the company.

If you would like to be considered for this position, please email your resume in a word document to Kevin.Chin@Roberthalf
