Position Overview

Reporting to the Manager of Professional Services, you will serve as a strategic financial consultant and solutions architect for our clients. In this role, you will partner closely with external CFOs, Controllers, and VP of Finance stakeholders to transform their legacy, spreadsheet-heavy accounting processes into scalable, automated financial models inside the Limelight ecosystem.

Key Responsibilities

Financial Modeling & Architecture

• Deconstruct and audit complex, multi-entity legacy client spreadsheets, including detailed workforce planning models, revenue models, and multi-currency frameworks.
• Rebuild and configure client business logic inside Limelight’s dynamic cloud ecosystem, ensuring absolute structural integrity and data stability.
• Map complex charts of accounts, cost centers, and dimensional data structures from top-tier ERP and accounting systems (e.g., NetSuite, Sage Intacct, Microsoft Dynamics, Workday).

C-Suite Advisory & Business Partnering

• Lead engaging discovery workshops and scoping sessions with external corporate finance stakeholders to diagnose data bottlenecks and redefine their strategic reporting workflows.
• Act as a trusted financial expert, guiding defensive or skeptical stakeholders through process improvements and modern budgeting best practices.
• Collaborate with cross-functional technical and implementation teams to ensure client business requirements translate flawlessly to final product delivery.

Continuous Improvement & Automation

• Identify opportunities to streamline client forecasting accuracy, reporting velocity, and planning efficiency during the deployment lifecycle.
• Build, enhance, and deploy sophisticated management dashboards, leadership scorecards, and key performance indicator (KPI) reporting packages for clients.

Ideal Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Business Administration, or a related quantitative field.
• 5–6+ years of progressive experience within an Accounting Firm (Transaction Advisory / TAS , Deal Advisory , Valuations , Corporate Finance ) or working as an Associate inside a Private Equity / Venture Capital fund.
• Advanced, battle-tested financial modeling capabilities, with a deep comfort level designing integrated 3-statement models and driver-based logic from scratch.
• Exceptional communication and presentation skills, with a demonstrated ability to manage difficult stakeholder dynamics and interface directly with C-Suite executives.
• Technical curiosity with elite command of Excel; direct exposure to relational data structures, financial systems, or business intelligence tools (Power BI , Tableau) is highly valued.
• A completed or in-progress CPA or CFA designation is a strong asset, but equivalent multi-company modeling experience will be highly prioritized.
