Senior Associate – Valuation
Valuation professionals looking for the next step in their career—this is your opportunity to join a growing, high-performing team. If you have strong experience in financial modeling, business valuations, and working with private equity clients, this role offers hands-on client exposure, leadership opportunities, and a collaborative environment. Unlike large firms, this company provides an entrepreneurial setting with minimal administrative burden, diverse project exposure, and strong compensation incentives.
What You’ll Do:

• Develop and refine financial models for business and securities valuations, including discounted cash flow (DCF) and market multiples approaches.
• Conduct in-depth research on companies, industries, and financial markets to support valuation conclusions.
• Manage valuation projects from start to finish, ensuring timely and high-quality client deliverables.
• Direct and mentor junior team members, providing guidance on modeling techniques and valuation methodologies.
• Build strong client relationships by presenting findings, answering questions, and assisting with valuation-related matters.
• Lead training sessions for staff and contribute to firm-wide initiatives.

Who You Are:

• 3+ years of experience in business valuation, preferably in a top 25 public accounting firm’s valuation arm or dedicated valuation firm.
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or related field.
• Strong technical skills in Excel (macros, pivot tables, data manipulation) and proficiency in PowerPoint.
• Experience with financial modeling, valuation techniques, and private equity engagements.
• Highly analytical with excellent attention to detail and strong verbal and written communication skills.
• Self-starter who thrives in a fast-paced, small-office environment and enjoys working collaboratively.
• Progress toward CFA, ASA, or ABV is a plus.

Why Work Here?

• Strong Compensation: $125-$160k total package based on performance.
• Work-Life Balance: Hybrid schedule (M, T, W in-office), with an average of 40-50 hours per week—busier in winter, lighter in summer.
• Career Growth: Work directly with leadership and have a clear pathway for promotions.
• Exciting & Diverse Work: Private equity clients, shorter projects (no audit reviews!), and hands-on experience across various industries.
• Minimal Bureaucracy: 1/10th the administrative burden of Big 4—focus on valuation work without unnecessary red tape.
