- 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).
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

- A completed or in-progress CPA or CFA designation is a strong asset, but equivalent multi-company modeling experience will be highly prioritized.
