A top 50 accounting firm pursuing a roll-up strategy needs hands-on modeling support for active acquisition targets. The acquirer has a defined playbook: ingest trial balance data from each target, normalize it, and build it into a standardized M&A model that reflects a "scrape" structure, where target partners receive an upfront payment in exchange for the acquirer taking a defined percentage of what would have been their go-forward partner profits. You will own the model build for each target, stress-test assumptions, and translate output into board-ready materials. What you will do - Take target financial data (trial balance, WIP, AR aging, partner comp schedules) and build it into the firm's standardized acquisition model - Structure scrape mechanics: upfront consideration, profit participation percentages, waterfall, and partner earnout over the hold - Normalize target P&Ls for owner comp, related-party items, and accounting policy differences - Build and maintain sources and uses, purchase price allocation, pro forma P&L/BS/CF, and returns analysis (IRR, MOIC, cash-on-cash) - Produce board decks and IC memos summarizing deal economics, key risks, and sensitivities - Interface with target CFOs and controllers for diligence Q&A as needed What you need for the job - Fluency reading and normalizing a trial balance. You spot owner comp in opex, catch related-party items, and handle cash to accrual conversions without supervision - Strong Excel modeling, specifically three-statement models, returns analysis, and earnout structures with non-linear triggers - Understanding of services firm economics, including partner comp, realization, utilization, WIP - Ability to produce a board-ready IC deck from your own model output Background that typically produces this skill set - 5+ years combined across public accounting, transaction advisory, or operating finance at a services business - Big 4 FDD, middle-market TAS, or controller at a PE-backed services platform - CPA credential is a plus but not required if the underlying skills are there Nice to have - Direct experience at an accounting firm roll-up platform (Ascend, Aprio, Citrin Cooperman, EisnerAmper, Baker Tilly, Crete Professionals) - Prior independent or fractional consulting experience

We are supporting an energy infrastructure investor in identifying a contract analyst with specialist expertise in battery energy storage system (BESS) project economics. The engagement centres on two core analytical workstreams: assessing the commercial profitability of individual BESS projects and evaluating their financing feasibility across a range of capital structure scenarios. This is a technically demanding role that sits at the intersection of project finance mechanics, energy market revenue modeling, and investment decision support — requiring a candidate who can operate with limited briefing and produce investor-grade outputs independently.

We are supporting a PE-focused engineering intelligence software company in its search for a Portfolio Engagement Lead to anchor a high-stakes, externally committed rollout across a major PE firm's portfolio. The company's AI-powered engineering diagnostic platform connects board-level strategy to code-level execution — surfacing sprint health, delivery forecasting, roadmap alignment, and SDLC compression insights for CTOs and CPOs at PE-backed software companies. A top-5 global PE firm has committed to deploying the platform across a significant portion of its portfolio, beginning with approximately 10 companies and scaling to 40 or more. This role is the primary face of the company to senior engineering executives across that portfolio and represents the company's most critical revenue and growth event for the year. Responsibilities: / Own 8–12 portfolio company relationships during the pilot phase, serving as the named point of contact for each CTO and CPO and running regular engagement cadences (weekly or biweekly calls). / Drive onboarding to demonstrable value in under two weeks per account — connecting each company's toolchain (e.g., project management and version control systems), configuring the appropriate diagnostic presets for their context, and ensuring the first experience surfaces actionable insight. / Translate complex, multi-dimensional engineering diagnostics into executive-level decisions — identifying the 3–5 metrics that matter most for a given CTO based on their board dynamics, engineering org structure, and current execution challenges. / Troubleshoot integration and configuration issues with sufficient technical fluency to resolve or escalate appropriately, without requiring engineering support for routine onboarding. / Feed structured, high-quality product signal back through the company's formal customer voice process — capturing what CTOs are asking for, where the platform falls short, and what features would materially increase retention. / Coordinate with PE operating partners to support cross-portfolio reporting — understanding how operating partners evaluate engineering efficiency, margin improvement, and delivery predictability at the board level. / Scale the engagement model from 12 to 40+ accounts during the expansion phase, building repeatable onboarding templates, health-check cadences, and escalation criteria. / Own renewal and expansion outcomes — converting pilot accounts to paid subscriptions by demonstrating sustained value through insight delivery. / Build the engagement function: hire and onboard 1–2 additional team members and define the engagement model that operates at scale, effectively serving as the company's first customer success leader. Requirements: / Demonstrate the credibility and presence to lead strategic conversations with CTOs and CPOs managing $10M–$50M+ engineering budgets at PE-backed software companies — the benchmark is whether this person would be invited back for a second meeting without the CEO present. / Possess 10+ years of experience in roles that involved active, recurring engagement with senior engineering executives — not selling to them, but working alongside them on operational and strategic challenges. / Exhibit fluency in the PE/VC operating environment: understand the operating partner model, how PE-backed CTOs are measured (on margin, efficiency, and delivery predictability), and what board reporting looks like in a portfolio context. Prior experience at a PE-backed company, a PE operating group, a portfolio services team, or a PE-focused consulting firm is required. / Demonstrate engineering domain literacy sufficient to discuss sprint velocity, cycle time, DORA metrics, code review bottlenecks, and technical debt in practice — not at a surface level, but in the language of a peer to engineering leadership. / Show comfort interpreting and communicating quantitative diagnostics — including composite indices, trend analysis, and statistical patterns — and translating them into language that drives executive action. / Demonstrate the ability to build structure from ambiguity: document what works, discard what does not, and create scalable systems in an environment where neither the engagement playbook nor the product is static. / Be available to begin within two weeks of offer acceptance; candidates with notice periods of 60 days or longer cannot be accommodated given the externally committed rollout timeline. Nice to Have: / Prior experience working at or with developer tools, engineering analytics, or DevOps platform companies (e.g., in the sprint intelligence, engineering metrics, or software delivery intelligence space). / Management consulting background — particularly from a strategy or technology practice — with demonstrated exposure to PE-backed or technology sector clients. / Direct experience navigating a scaling phase from early accounts (10–20) to a mature customer base (100+), including firsthand awareness of where engagement models break at scale. / Familiarity with configuring or implementing project management and version control integrations (e.g., Jira, Linear, GitHub) in a customer-facing context. Scope of Work: / Pilot phase (months 1–3): Part-time contractor engagement at approximately 25–30 hours per week; own 8–12 portfolio company relationships end-to-end. / Expansion phase (months 3–6): Full-time conversion; scale to 40+ accounts, build the engagement function, and take ownership of renewals and expansion revenue. / Define and document the engagement model — onboarding templates, cadence frameworks, escalation criteria — as the system that future team members will inherit. / Bridge individual account engagement with portfolio-level reporting expectations from PE operating partners. / Serve as a primary input into the product roadmap via the company's formal customer voice process. / Hire and onboard 1–2 additional engagement team members as the account base scales.
