Job Description:

 

Join Baker Tilly as a Director in our fast-growing Financial Advisory Services team within the Office of the CFO practice. This is a leadership role within a rapidly scaling team focused on building a market-leading Treasury and finance transformation offering. We partner with CFOs, private equity sponsors, and executive teams to design, build, and operate high-impact finance functions that drive better, faster decision-making. 

Our team supports a diverse client base—from high-growth, PE-backed portfolio companies to large enterprises—across industries including consumer products, manufacturing and distribution, technology, life sciences, healthcare, media and entertainment, and professional services. We deliver a broad suite of services spanning interim Treasury leadership, function stand-up, carve-out support, cashflow/liquidity optimization, modernize operating models, and implement enabling technology. 

As a Director, you will operate at the intersection of client delivery, capability building, and business development, helping shape the future of our practice while serving as a trusted advisor to senior finance leaders. This role is focused on ongoing Treasury, finance transformation, and value creation—not transaction execution—often working with clients post-investment.

• Help define, build, and scale Baker Tilly’s Treasury and Office of the CFO capabilities, expanding beyond traditional strategic finance into a comprehensive, end-to-end offering. 

• Develop and standardize methodologies, tools, and accelerators (e.g., forecasting frameworks, reporting templates, dashboard solutions). 

• Collaborate across service lines (e.g., transaction advisory, tax, audit, consulting) to deliver integrated, cross-functional solutions. 

 Business Development & Market Presence 

• Originate or expand client relationships, particularly within private equity firms and their portfolio companies, to drive new revenue and deepen existing accounts 

• Lead proposal development and deal shaping, including scoping, pricing, and positioning of services 

• Contribute to thought leadership, client presentations and market-facing content to enhance the firm’s brand in Treasury and finance transformation. 

• Actively participate in go-to-market strategies targeting high-growth and PE-backed companies.

 Team Leadership & Talent Development 

• Help lead, mentor, and develop high-performing team members while fostering a culture of accountability, growth, and collaboration. 

• Play a key role in recruiting and building out the team, particularly as the practice scales its capabilities. 

• Provide technical guidance across financial modeling, Treasury processes, and client delivery. 

• Operate as a player-coach, balancing hands-on problem solving with team leadership and oversight. 

Qualifications: 

•  Bachelor’s degree in finance, accounting, economics, or related field; MBA or advanced degree preferred.

This is a unique opportunity to join a high-growth, entrepreneurial team within a leading firm, where you will play a direct role in shaping the strategy, offerings, and trajectory of the Office of the CFO practice.
