Job Description

As Cohn Reznick grows, so do our career opportunities. As one of the nation’s top professional services firms, Cohn Reznick creates rewarding careers in advisory, assurance, and tax with team members who value innovation and collaboration in everything they do!

Cohn Reznick helps organizations optimize performance, manage risk, and maximize value through Cohn Reznick LLP (assurance services) and Cohn Reznick Advisory LLC (advisory and tax services). Together, the firm provides leaders with deep industry knowledge and relationships, solutions to address clients’ unique business goals and risks, and insight on how emerging market forces can drive opportunity. With offices nationwide, the firm serves organizations around the world as an independent member of Nexia.

We currently have an exciting career opportunity for a Senior Associate to join our Private Equity Value Creation team in our CxO Advisory practice.

Cohn Reznick is a hybrid firm and most of our professionals are located within a commutable distance to one of our offices. This position is considered remote which means it does not require job duties be performed within proximity of a Cohn Reznick office location. However, as a remote employee, you may be required to be present at a Cohn Reznick office with scheduled notice for client work, team meetings, or trainings.

Cohn Reznick’s CxO group offers our clients an extensive array of executive advisory (OCFO, OCOO, OCIO), digital and process transformation, and automation enablement services to adapt to the rapidly changing business environment. Our client focus is mid-market, and you will be exposed to a variety of industries including tech, consumer, manufacturing & distribution, real estate, hospitality, private equity, and renewable energy to name a few.

We are seeking a Senior Associate to execute strategic finance work streams for private equity-backed portfolio companies. This role is built for an aspiring operator: someone who enjoys digging into data, building models and reporting that leadership actually uses, and working directly with client finance teams to solve real problems.

Working closely with Managers and engagement leadership, the Senior Associate builds the analyses, models, dashboards, and deliverables that drive our engagements, and increasingly owns work streams and client interactions. The ideal candidate brings a solid accounting and finance foundation, strong Excel and data analytics skills, sharp attention to detail, and a desire to grow into an engagement leader.

At Cohn Reznick, we’re united by a common mission to create opportunity, value, and trust for our clients, our people, and our communities. Whether it’s working alongside your peers to solve a client challenge, or volunteering together at the local food bank, there are so many ways to find your “why” at the firm.

We believe it’s important to balance work with everyday life – and make time for enjoyment and fun. We invest in a robust Total Rewards package that includes everything from generous PTO, a flexible work environment, expanded parental leave, extensive learning & development, and even paid time off for employees to volunteer.

• Execute assigned work streams on private equity value creation engagements, delivering high-quality work on time and within scope.
• Track tasks, deadlines, and open items; communicate progress, risks, and issues proactively to the engagement team.
• Work directly with portfolio company finance and operations teams to gather data, understand…
