About the Linked Accounting Alliance

The Linked Accounting Alliance is a unified accounting and advisory enterprise built on a holding company structure. Member firms have contributed their equity into a shared back-end organization, creating a single integrated firm with the depth and resources of a large practice while each member firm retains its own client-facing brand and market identity.

This model allows the Alliance to deploy specialized talent, centralized infrastructure, and shared financial systems across the network, while preserving the trusted relationships and local presence each member firm has cultivated. The result is a platform uniquely positioned to serve both its member firms and their clients at a level that neither could achieve independently.

The Role

This is a unique, high-impact position that sits at the intersection of internal Alliance finance and client-facing fractional FP&A. Approximately 20% of your time will be dedicated to internal responsibilities supporting the financial operations of the Alliance holding company and its member firms. The remaining 80% will be deployed as a fractional FP&A resource serving the clients of Alliance member firms.

Client engagements range from ongoing fractional finance support to discrete project-based work including helping businesses build their FP&A function from the ground up, implement planning software, or work through a specific strategic or operational decision. You will work directly with business owners, CEOs, and leadership teams across professional services, manufacturing, distribution, and other industries. No two weeks will look alike.

Fractional FP&A Client Engagements (~80%)

Client engagements take two forms: ongoing fractional support, where you serve as an embedded part-time finance resource for a client business; and project-based engagements, where you are brought in to solve a specific problem or deliver a defined outcome.
