Job Category: Accounting & Finance
External Reporting Manager
If you’re looking for a high-visibility, high-variety role where you’ll partner across nearly every part of the business, this could be a great next step. We are seeking a Manager of Financial Reporting to step into a key role currently being vacated due to an internal promotion into FP&A, highlighting the company’s strong track record of cross-functional mobility and long-term investment in developing talent from within!
Our client is a rapidly growing, privately held consumer products manufacturer with a national footprint and a strong reputation for operational excellence, innovation, and best-in-class customer partnerships. Headquartered in the Twin Cities, the company has scaled significantly over the past decade through both organic growth and strategic acquisitions, evolving into a true market leader with strong momentum and continued upside.
We’ve partnered with this organization for over 8 years and consistently see it as one of the strongest long-term career destinations in the market. The culture is highly collaborative, performance-driven, and deeply committed to internal mobility. High performers don’t just get promoted, they move across functions and into leadership roles!
This is a Manager of Financial Reporting opportunity built for a public accounting professional ready to step into a high-visibility industry role with real breadth and impact. You’ll take ownership of key areas of external reporting while also gaining exposure to technical accounting, FP&A, audit coordination, and strategic initiatives, including M&A and post-deal integration.
In this role, you’ll work closely with accounting, FP&A, tax, operations finance, external auditors, and senior leadership, giving you direct exposure to how the business operates and how strategic decisions are made at the top.
For someone coming out of public accounting, this is a standout opportunity to accelerate your learning curve, take on meaningful ownership early, and set yourself up for long-term growth into FP&A, corporate development, or broader accounting leadership.
Senior Accounting Associate
For a public accounting professional ready to make the move to industry, this is one of the more compelling opportunities in the Twin Cities. You are not going to a Fortune 500 corporate accounting seat with a defined lane and a five-year wait for your next title. You are stepping into a private equity environment where the work is varied, the exposure is broad, and the upward trajectory is real. If a portco CFO seat or a career in private equity finance is on your radar, this is a meaningful first step.
This firm manages a multi-strategy private equity platform and has built a tight-knit, high-caliber accounting and finance team with a strong culture of collaboration and long-term thinking. They opened their Minnesota office in late 2024 and are now building out their local team – this hire is a foundational role in that effort. The team operating out of Minneapolis works in close partnership with senior Finance leadership in New York, giving this person meaningful visibility and access to leadership from day one.
The Opportunity
As a Senior Accounting Associate, you will support the Controller and Assistant Controller with the day-to-day accounting and fund administration for the firm’s investment funds. This is a hands-on, high-ownership role with direct exposure to fund accounting, investor reporting, audit, compliance, and operational initiatives across a growing platform.
Key Responsibilities
• Support preparation of quarterly and annual fund financial statements and reporting schedules
• Assist with investor capital calls, distributions, and LP audit confirmations
• Coordinate annual audit activities, including preparing audit support and liaising with external auditors
• Support regulatory filings and ongoing compliance requirements in partnership with the NYC accounting team
• Maintain fund accounting records, accounts payable, cash management, and treasury-related activities
• Interface with limited partners, fund administrators, auditors, and banks as directed
• Complete investor due diligence questionnaires and other ad hoc data requests
• Support process improvement initiatives as the team scales
Qualifications
• CPA (active, required)
• 2+ years of Big Four or public accounting experience
• Strong technical accounting foundation with the ability to ramp quickly in a new environment
• Self-starter who can operate independently in a satellite office setting
• Polished communicator who can build trust across a distributed team
• Curious and adaptable – PE background is not required, but you need to want to learn it
• Minneapolis (North Loop) office location
Compensation
• $120k + bonus
Cost Accounting Manager
We are thrilled to be partnering with a long-time client of ours on a key addition to their Executive Leadership Team! This is a unique Cost Accounting leadership opportunity with a well-established manufacturing business here in the Twin Cities.
This is definitely not your run-of-the-mill cost accounting role. The position sits on the executive leadership team and offers significant visibility across the organization, with heavy crossover into operations and the opportunity to serve as a true business partner to manufacturing and operational leadership.
They are looking for someone who can not only own costing, inventory, and manufacturing accounting, but also help drive operational efficiencies, improve processes, and support stronger decision-making across the plant environment.
If you’re someone who enjoys having a seat at the table, partnering cross-functionally, and making a tangible impact on how a business operates rather than simply maintaining the status quo, this could be a really exciting opportunity.
Director of Finance
The Director of Finance will be a strategic, operationally minded finance leader who combines strong analytical expertise with the ability to build trusted relationships across the organization and franchise network. This individual will play a critical role in shaping financial strategy, supporting executive decision-making, and driving long-term business performance across one of the largest franchise salon systems in North America.
This leader will oversee a broad range of financial functions, including financial planning and analysis, budgeting, treasury operations, tax strategy, cash flow management, business analytics, and franchisee financial support. Success in the role requires more than technical expertise; the ideal candidate will bring a highly collaborative, service-oriented mindset and the ability to translate complex financial data into clear, actionable insights that support growth, profitability, and operational excellence across both corporate and franchise operations.
The successful candidate will demonstrate a low-ego, servant-leader mentality with a relationship-first approach to leadership, collaboration, and business partnership. They will thrive in ambiguous, fast-paced environments and balance strategic thinking with a hands-on, execution-oriented mindset, operating effectively as a “working leader” who is equally comfortable leading teams and rolling up their sleeves to solve problems. This individual will bring curiosity, patience, and sound judgment when assessing opportunities for change, taking time to understand organizational context, stakeholder perspectives, and operational realities before driving transformation.
Additionally, this leader must be able to build trust and credibility quickly across teams, franchisees, and executive leadership while simplifying complex financial concepts for audiences with varying levels of financial acumen. The ideal candidate will be energized by helping franchisees improve performance, enhance profitability, and achieve long-term business success through thoughtful partnership, responsiveness, and value-added financial guidance.
