District Partners has been exclusively retained by a leading national financial services firm headquartered in Cleveland that is scaling aggressively with backing from top-tier private equity sponsors. This is not a maintenance finance role—it is a strategic, forward-facing position designed for a high-performance athlete in financial modeling, strategic analysis, and value creation.

If you are energized by complexity, deal activity, and the opportunity to influence enterprise direction at the C-suite and sponsor level—this is that moment in your career.

Why This Role Is Different:

• Direct visibility to the CFO and PE sponsors.
• Massive acquisition pipeline and activity
• Opportunity to build and own the fund flow / fund slope models that drive strategic decisions across the platform
• Play offense—not maintenance. You will be the strategic architect building scenarios, forecasting outcomes, and guiding executive decisions

Who We’re Looking For:

A top-tier finance professional who thinks like an investor and operates like a builder. You have the horsepower to be five steps ahead, translating business initiatives into financial impact. You thrive in high-growth, PE-backed environments where speed, precision, and strategic modeling define success.

What You'll Have:

• 5–10+ years of financial modeling and analysis at a high-performance institution
• Advanced Excel/modeling mastery required (fund flow / deal modeling experience highly preferred)
• Proven experience supporting executive-level decision-making
• Demonstrated ability to thrive in a fast-paced, PE-backed environment where business priorities evolve rapidly

Ideal Background:

• Investment Banking (M&A, Financial Sponsors, Restructuring)
• Private Equity or PE Portfolio Company Finance
• Strategic Corporate FP&A at a fast-scaling private or public company
• Management Consulting (Transaction Advisory, Value Creation, FP&A Transformation)
• Wealth Management or Financial Services with complex revenue and acquisition models

What You'll Do:

• Own FP&A function with full responsibility for forecasting, variance analysis, scenario planning, and fund flow modeling
• Build sophisticated models to evaluate acquisitions, capital deployment, growth strategies, and financial returns
• Partner directly with the CFO on strategic initiatives, including PE reporting, integration planning, and enterprise value acceleration
• Drive financial insights that influence executive decisions across M&A, revenue optimization, client profitability, and fund allocation
• Collaborate with private equity partners to deliver board-ready analysis, KPI dashboards, and value creation roadmaps
• Develop the financial architecture that scales the business from its current trajectory into the next phase of national dominance

What Success Looks Like:

• You walk into a conversation with the CFO and already have the model built and the story behind the numbers
• You are benchmarking against best-in-class PE-backed organizations and delivering insights that move valuation
• You are viewed as the internal “deal athlete” and thought partner—not a reporting function

Compensation & Growth:

• Highly competitive compensation package (base + performance bonus + potential equity participation)
• Significant runway for upward mobility within a rapidly scaling firm
• Direct exposure to private equity value creation track

This Role Is for You If…

• You don’t wait for direction—you create it
• You think like an investor, not a reporter of numbers
• You want to be in the room where decisions are made, building the models that drive them
