Position Overview

The Director of Finance and Operations serves as the firm's operational core — ensuring that leadership priorities are translated into reliable execution on the ground. This position is predominantly hands-on, with a strong bias toward managing workflows, holding teams accountable, and driving operational outcomes rather than setting firm-level strategy. The ideal candidate is a disciplined operator who builds trust through follow-through, brings a continuous improvement mindset to day-to-day problems, and knows how to get things done in a multi-office professional services environment.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Business Administration, Accounting, Finance, Operations, or related field (or equivalent experience directly related to the role)
  • 10+ years of progressive experience in professional services operations (accounting, advisory, legal, or consulting), with demonstrated responsibility for managing cross-functional operational workflows
  • Demonstrated ability to establish and maintain operating cadence, KPI reporting routines, and process standards across multiple teams
  • Experience managing operational change initiatives (process redesign and/or technology rollouts) with hands-on coordination and follow-through
  • Proficiency with common productivity, reporting, and practice management tools used in modern professional services firms
  • Strong analytical skills; ability to read financial and operating data and translate it into actionable next steps
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills
  • Occasional travel to CURRENT regional meetings and platform events (estimated at 20-30%)

Qualifications Preferred

  • Experience in or directly supporting an accounting firm environment, including familiarity with tax/audit/advisory delivery rhythms
  • Experience supporting M&A integration and/or rapid growth environments with multiple locations and leadership layers
  • MBA or other advanced degree in a job-related field
  • CPA license or equivalent financial/accounting credential

  • Opportunities for professional growth, learning, and development including access to Becker and LinkedIn Learning
