Job Description & How to Apply Below

Resolute is looking for a sharp, driven Managing Director to lead client engagements at the intersection of financial complexity and operational urgency. This is a role for someone who moves fast, thinks precisely, and earns trust in distressed environments where clarity and credibility matter most.

You are not a consensus-builder by default. You are an independent decision-maker who can read a room, communicate with authority, and act with urgency when circumstances demand it. You hold yourself to a high standard because you understand that in this work, accuracy and accountability are not optional.

What You Will Do
  • Manage multiple corporate and forensic accounting engagements simultaneously across diverse industries, with strict deadlines and high-stakes outcomes
  • Prepare and review detailed financial models in Excel, including forensic and predictive cash flow analyses, profit and loss statements, budgeting, economic forecasting, and business valuations
  • Analyze accounting and financial data related to restructuring, turnaround efforts, orderly liquidations, and sale processes
  • Identify, secure, value, document, and liquidate assets of insolvent or defunct organizations on behalf of creditors
  • Develop and maintain 13-week cash flow models and proactively surface emerging challenges or opportunities
  • Communicate financial findings and recommendations clearly to clients, lenders, attorneys, courts, and C-level stakeholders
  • Facilitate conflict resolution by redirecting disputes into actionable, practical solutions
  • Serve as a player-coach: set the plan, assign goals, mentor the team, and remove blockers without losing sight of the larger objective
  • Identify and cultivate business development opportunities within the lending, legal, accounting, and restructuring communities
Who You Are
  • You have a high sense of urgency. When new information surfaces, you respond, you do not wait. You thrive in fast-moving, ambiguous environments and have a track record of managing complex engagements from initial analysis through resolution.
  • You are precise without being paralyzed. You hold a high standard for the quality of your work product because you know that in financial advisory, details matter and errors carry real consequences.
  • You are intellectually curious. You dig into complex businesses and distressed situations beyond the financial statements, and that curiosity is what allows you to see what others miss.
  • You make decisions independently. You do not need consensus to act, and you know how to bring stakeholders along after you have charted the course.
What You Bring
  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Economics, Finance, or a related field; MBA or CPA preferred
  • 5 to 10 years of professional experience in financial reporting, analytics, or a related discipline
  • Demonstrated proficiency in commercial credit analysis, financial modeling, collateral evaluation, and quantitative risk assessment developed through experience in asset-based lending, commercial banking, special assets, credit administration, or restructuring
  • Strong ability to assess borrower performance, enterprise value, collateral coverage, liquidity, cash flow, and repayment risk, with the ability to translate findings into practical recommendations
  • Experience advising on or supporting financial advisory, turnaround consulting, fiduciary appointments, assignments for the benefit of creditors (ABC), receiverships, bankruptcy matters, or court-supervised engagements
  • Exceptional communication and negotiation skills, with credibility across borrowers, lenders, legal counsel, courts, and executive stakeholders
  • Comfort operating under pressure, managing competing demands, and making sound decisions in distressed or transitional environments
  • Entrepreneurial mindset with genuine interest in contributing to the firm's growth and market presence
  • Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel and the Office Suite, including Teams; experience with Quick Books a plus
Why Resolute
  • A culture built on integrity, grit, and practical problem-solving, where good ideas win regardless of where they come from
  • High autonomy and real ownership over your engagements from day one
  • A genuine mentorship culture where career growth is actively supported and celebrated
  • Work-life harmony: flexibility, meaningful PTO accrual, and paid holidays
  • Health benefits with multiple plan options. Medical, Vision, Dental
  • 401(k) with company contributions
  • Paid volunteer time and charitable contribution matching
  • National platform with reach across 38…
