Independence, OH, United States District Partners LLC Full time

District Partners has been exclusively retained by a leading national financial services firm headquartered in Cleveland that is scaling aggressively with backing from top-tier private equity sponsors. This is not a maintenance finance role-it is a strategic, forward-facing position designed for a high-performance athlete in financial modeling, strategic analysis, and value creation.

If you are energized by complexity, deal activity, and the opportunity to influence enterprise direction at the C-suite and sponsor level-this is that moment in your career.

Why This Role Is Different:

  • Direct visibility to the CFO and PE sponsors.
  • Massive acquisition pipeline and activity
  • Opportunity to build and own the fund flow / fund slope models that drive strategic decisions across the platform
  • Play offense-not maintenance. You will be the strategic architect building scenarios, forecasting outcomes, and guiding executive decisions
Who We're Looking For:

A top-tier finance professional who thinks like an investor and operates like a builder. You have the horsepower to be five steps ahead, translating business initiatives into financial impact. You thrive in high-growth, PE-backed environments where speed, precision, and strategic modeling define success.

What You'll Have:
  • 5-10+ years of financial modeling and analysis at a high-performance institution
  • Advanced Excel/modeling mastery required (fund flow / deal modeling experience highly preferred)
  • Proven experience supporting executive-level decision-making
  • Demonstrated ability to thrive in a fast-paced, PE-backed environment where business priorities evolve rapidly
Ideal Background:
  • Investment Banking (M&A, Financial Sponsors, Restructuring)
  • Private Equity or PE Portfolio Company Finance
  • Strategic Corporate FP&A at a fast-scaling private or public company
  • Management Consulting (Transaction Advisory, Value Creation, FP&A Transformation)
  • Wealth Management or Financial Services with complex revenue and acquisition models
What You'll Do:
  • Own FP&A function with full responsibility for forecasting, variance analysis, scenario planning, and fund flow modeling
  • Build sophisticated models to evaluate acquisitions, capital deployment, growth strategies, and financial returns
  • Partner directly with the CFO on strategic initiatives, including PE reporting, integration planning, and enterprise value acceleration
  • Drive financial insights that influence executive decisions across M&A, revenue optimization, client profitability, and fund allocation
  • Collaborate with private equity partners to deliver board-ready analysis, KPI dashboards, and value creation roadmaps
  • Develop the financial architecture that scales the business from its current trajectory into the next phase of national dominance
What Success Looks Like:
  • You walk into a conversation with the CFO and already have the model built and the story behind the numbers
  • You are benchmarking against best-in-class PE-backed organizations and delivering insights that move valuation
  • You are viewed as the internal "deal athlete" and thought partner-not a reporting function
Compensation & Growth:
  • Highly competitive compensation package (base + performance bonus + potential equity participation)
  • Significant runway for upward mobility within a rapidly scaling firm
  • Direct exposure to private equity value creation track
This Role Is for You If...
  • You don't wait for direction-you create it
  • You think like an investor, not a reporter of numbers
  • You want to be in the room where decisions are made, building the models that drive them
