[Hiring] Director, Finance & Accounting Advisory Services @Intrinsic LLC

Role Description

Most senior advisory roles ask you to choose either the technical standard or lead the client relationship. This role demands both and adds a third dimension: building the practice itself.

As Director of our Finance & Accounting Advisory Services (FAAS) practice, you will set the quality bar for how we serve PE-backed portfolio companies through the most consequential moments in their finance function’s evolution. You’ll carry the authority to shape engagement strategy, make judgment calls on complex technical matters, and hold the room with PE sponsors, CFOs, and Boards who depend on your perspective to make high-stakes decisions.

The Mandate:

• Own a portfolio of concurrent client relationships as the senior point of accountability.
• Translate PE-backed finance challenges and goals into executable transformation plans.
• Fix the past, build the infrastructure for the future, and ensure every workstream connects back to enterprise value.
• Shape the trajectory of our FAAS practice, define our delivery methodology, build the team, and establish frameworks and intellectual capital.

Qualifications

• CPA required (active or eligible).
• 8+ years of progressive experience in Big 4 FAAS, PE-backed controllership or CFO advisory, top-tier consulting, or corporate finance leadership.
• Demonstrated mastery across multiple domains: close transformation, technical accounting (ASC 606/842/805), cash and working capital management, M&A integration, and exit preparation.
• Authoritative command of US GAAP, PE-specific accounting (normalization, carve-outs), and ERP/system landscapes.
• Deep fluency in middle-market finance functions: cash-to-accrual migrations, first-time audits, QuickBooks-to-ERP transitions, close process redesign.
• Travel required for engagement kickoffs and firm meetings (estimated 20 to 30%).

Requirements

• You command the room with PE Partners, CEOs, CFOs, and Boards.
• You translate complex accounting into plain-English business implications.
• You design and own workplans that align people, systems, and processes.
• You navigate competing stakeholder priorities confidently.
• You set the standard for quality, client experience, and what "done well" looks like.
• You are decisive under pressure and intellectually versatile.
• You build teams, hire well, and create an environment for others to excel.
• You are entrepreneurial and refine methodology as you execute.

Benefits

• Benefits include medical, dental, and vision insurance.
• 401(k) plan with employer contribution.
