What We’re Looking For We’re looking for a Director of Finance & Accounting who’s as comfortable rolling up their sleeves as they are thinking strategically about how finance can enable our business. You might be a CPA in a firm who’s realized the partner path isn’t your passion… but leading and growing a high-performing team is. This is a hands-on leadership role with room to grow into a future CFO. What You’ll Do (High Level) Lead and oversee all aspects of our accounting and finance operations, including planning, forecasting, reporting, and compliance. Translate numbers into insights, helping our leaders make smart, data-informed decisions. Partner with operational leaders to connect financial management with the rhythms of our consulting business. Build strong cross-functional relationships within the company to support collaboration and informed decision-making. Review and approve reports for completeness, consistency, and clarity prior to distribution. Mentor and grow a small but mighty finance and accounting team, cultivating an environment of ownership and continuous improvement. Work closely with our President and Leadership Teams on strategy, budgeting, and long-term planning. Collaborate with leadership, our board of directors, auditors, bankers, and trustee on our ESOP valuation and overall administration. Support leadership on the evaluation and integration of acquisitions. Ensure we maintain the integrity and accuracy of our financial systems while identifying opportunities for better tools, processes, and efficiencies. What You’ll Do (The Details) 1. Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A) Lead the budgeting, forecasting, and financial planning processes. Translate operational data into financial insights to guide decision-making. Monitor key performance indicators (KPIs) and variance analyses (actual vs. budget/forecast). 2. Operational Performance Management Partner with leaders to understand cost drivers, revenue opportunities, and efficiency improvements. Develop dashboards and reports to track operational and financial performance. 3. Process Improvement & Cost Optimization Identify inefficiencies in operational workflows and implement cost-saving measures. In-depth knowledge of financial processes including revenue recognition, billing, expense management, and resource allocation. Implement automation to streamline reporting and analysis. 4. Strategic Business Partnering Collaborate with the executive team to support long-term growth and financial sustainability. Evaluate and operationalize the financial implications of business initiatives (e.g., new products, acquisitions, pricing strategies). Support data-driven decision-making across the company. 5. Leadership & Governance Ensure compliance with internal policies, financial regulations, and audit requirements. Support executive reporting and presentations to the board and leadership teams. Who You Are A CPA (or similar level of financial expertise) with 10+ years of progressive accounting/finance experience. Likely from a professional services or consulting background (you get the nuances of project-based work). Equally comfortable talking to auditors, advising executives, and coaching a teammate through financial systems. Strategic thinker and operational doer. You can see the big picture and also know when to get into the details. Strong communicator who leads with curiosity, humility, and an owner’s mindset. Why TiER1 We’re a 100% employee-owned organization; everyone has a stake in our success. We believe in flexibility, trust, and treating people like adults.
