Quality of Earnings Manager; QofE Services Lead

We’re hiring a QofE Manager to launch and own a vertical revenue stream within the NMC ecosystem. This is more than a job—it’s an opportunity to build a business within our business. You’ll lead our internal Quality of Earnings (QofE Lite) offering, serving a captive base of entrepreneurs actively acquiring small businesses. Over time, you can potentially expand into outsourced back‑office services like accounting, bookkeeping, and monthly financials.

This role is perfect for a CPA with buy‑side QofE experience who wants the entrepreneurial freedom to grow a practice with built‑in demand. You’ll work alongside our Deal Analyst and Biz Dev team, but your focus is exclusively on the quality of earnings/accounting diligence layer - cleaning the numbers, surfacing insights, and offering confidence to lenders, investors, and entrepreneurs alike.

• Design and manage a standardized, scalable QofE workflow tailored to small business deals
• Deliver standard QOE reports that assess financial integrity, proof of cash, revenue normalization, seller discretionary earnings, customer concentration, margin consistency, business valuation, and other critical metrics
• Provide light post‑close financial advisory where relevant, especially in the area of working capital need

• Own the P&L for NMC's financial diligence & back‑office vertical
• Build or manage outsourced delivery partners for accounting and bookkeeping
• Work with the core NMC team to upsell or cross‑sell services as deals progress

• Coordinate with entrepreneurs and Deal Analysts to prioritize incoming QofE work
