We have been engaged by a well-known advisory firm in Minneapolis to identify a leader for one of their growing valuations practices. This is a fantastic opportunity to own projects and teams while still being involved in the work, and the compensation and work-life-balance combination is one of the best on the market.
This specific group provides valuation, sell/buy-side, and value-creation services for lower-middle-market firms and I’m seeking someone who can own client relationships, execute on a wide variety of work, and learn quickly — the firm is constantly adapting and bringing new ideas and services to the table, so are an agile and entrepreneurial group (and don’t worry, this is NOT with a public accounting firm.)
They are downtown with an awesome office they use 2-3x per week, have a strict “no-ego” policy, and only hire externally when growth demands it — they have a phenomenal track record of promoting internally.
Ideal candidates have 5-10 years of business valuation experience, CPA & ABV certifications a plus.
We are seeking a senior leader to oversee business performance across a network of franchise locations throughout Canada. This role combines franchise operations leadership with strategic marketing oversight, requiring a unique blend of operational excellence, relationship management, and customer growth expertise.
Reporting to the Vice President of Operations, this individual will drive operational performance, support franchisee success, lead market growth initiatives, and partner closely with marketing leadership to develop and execute regional marketing strategies. The role will lead a team of operations professionals while also influencing marketing resources and external partners to achieve business objectives.
This position is based in Toronto and requires regular travel throughout Canada, with occasional travel to the United States.
I’m partnered with a professional services client in the Twin Cities to bring on a Platform Engineer. I placed the hiring manager earlier this year and they are growing the team as they push from on-prem to the cloud. This role will be probably a 60/40 split initially DBA (SQL) vs Platform Eng work (Azure, IaC, CI/CD, Terraform etc.) and will continue to grow more focused on platform engineering with time.
This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys building scalable platforms, automating everything possible, and driving modernization rather than simply maintaining existing systems.
