Senior Financial Analyst
We are working with a $120M PE backed manufacturing company looking for a strong senior financial analyst to join a fast growing business.
This will be the right hand to a sharp CFO who you will “divide and conquer” building out the finance function with. The company has a rich history of over 100 years with a brand new leadership team focused on profitability, manageable growth and keeping things in tact while providing better partnerships to the business from a finance lens.
Ideal candidate will have 2-3 years’ experience and “fire in their belly”. You desire a mentor that values developing talent as the CFO has been afforded the opportunity to work for exceptional leaders throughout his career and looking to “pay it forward” to someone looking for the same.
This role will focus on building out an FP&A function, strong cost analysis and general controllership understanding that will also get exposure to Treasury and some M&A activity — perfect for someone coming out of a rotation program at a big company wanting more visibility and direct ownership.
Financial Due Diligence/Deals Advisory (accounting) – Middle market Investment Bank
Are you at a Big 4 or Tier 1 Deals Advisory shop where work load has been impacted due to lack of deal flow?
We are partnering with a world-class, global firm that has a unique value proposition with an unmatched whitespace/growth opportunity in the Chicago market. While macroeconomic trends in deals have slowed for bulge brackets and big shops this firm continues to grow and gain market share causing the need for several newly created roles in their officer ranks (VP and up).
