Job description

Finance & Accounting Advisory – Consultant

Our consultants work as part of a team with other CFGI professionals, Big 4 auditors, and client management on all facets of the engagements, including analyzing financial information, interviewing client management, identifying key issues, report writing, participating in meetings, and developing a strong relationship with client management.

Take ownership of your career at CFGI:

  • Gain exposure to a wide range of industries and/or projects.
  • Make a true business impact with your clients.
  • Own projects from start to finish. 
  • Experience client interaction and thrive in a client-facing role.
  • Be consistently challenged and learn through a collegial environment created from top tier experts hired within the firm. 
  • Enjoy the flexibility of office/remote/client site work locations (engagement specific).
  • Create your own path.
  • Enjoy what you do!

What you might expect:

  • Preparation of operational due diligence for complex transactions (i.e. – acquisitions and divestitures, stock offerings, debt raises, IPO’s). 
  • Accounting projects focused on carving out business units/subsidiaries. 
  • Integration with client’s internal staff as a subject matter expert when it comes to operational senior accounting tasks or overall financial team support.
  • Preparation of financial and regulatory information in accordance with SEC and regulatory requirements (i.e. – 10K’s, 10Q’s, S-1 and S-4 filings, audit coordination). 
  • Research & documentation projects related to new ASC accounting standards.
  • Process improvement projects and implementation of changes.

What you must have:

  • 2.5–5 years of experience in public accounting, accounting advisory, consulting, and/or corporate accounting/finance.
  • Minimum of 2 years of experience at a Big 4 firm (Deloitte, EY, KPMG, or PwC).

What sets you apart:

  • Experience applying U.S. GAAP through financial statement preparation, audit engagements, month-end close, financial reporting, or technical accounting research.
  • Experience owning portions of accounting, audit, or finance-related workstreams and deliverables.

Nice to have:

  • CPA license or active progress toward CPA certification.
  • Exposure to SEC reporting and filings, including Forms 10-K, 10-Q, and S-1.
  • Experience in one or more complex accounting areas (e.g., revenue recognition, leases, business combinations, or stock-based compensation).

Who thrives here:

  • Excellent interpersonal, written, and oral communication skills with an ability to assimilate easily into teams.
  • Effective analytical and critical thinking abilities.
  • Entrepreneurial nature, self-motivated, ethical, and dependable.
  • High energy with commitment to quality client service.

CFGI is dedicated to offering our employees strong and inclusive total compensation packages. Offer packages are based on several factors, such as the specific role and level being hired for, location, as well as the individual's skills, experiences, and qualifications. The good-faith estimated base salary range for this position is: $95,000 - $110,000. In addition to the base compensation, CFGI offers a competitive benefits package and various bonus programs and incentives, based upon an individual’s level and overall work performance.   

We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses and identifying potential inconsistencies or verification signals in application materials based on available information. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
