Associate, Finance Transformation

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.
What You’ll Do:
Work closely with other team members to serve clients within the office of the CFO of private equity portfolio companies, in the areas of finance strategy and processes improvements such as:
Capability and Maturity assessments
Operating Model Design
Technology Optimization and Roadmaps
Design and Process Enhancement across areas including order-to-cash, procure-to-pay, record-to-report and FP&A
Assess and recommend change management processes
Drive initiatives to increase effectiveness, reduce costs and improve profit/shareholder value
Develop and implement KPI dashboards and tracking tools
Bring deep financial expertise and strong experience leading practices to engagements
Manage multiple client engagements at the same time, ensure projects are on track, manage client expectations and perform course corrections when necessary
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
Actual compensation packages are determined by evaluating a wide array of factors unique to each candidate, including but not limited to skill set, years and depth of experience, education, certifications, cost of labor and internal equity.
