This position will support the Chief Operating Officer (COO) and Vice President of Client Services and will directly interact with clients to deliver exceptional service and solutions.

Key Responsibilities:

• Serve as the accounting and tax subject matter expert on non-qualified deferred compensation (NQDC) plans, assisting Fortune 500 clients and high-level executives in navigating the financial complexities surrounding NQDC arrangements.
• Collaborate closely with the COO and VP of Client Services to design and enhance the delivery of accounting-related services for NQDC plans, ensuring alignment with the clients' strategic goals.
• Provide technical guidance on accounting and tax implications for deferred compensation plans, including compliance with IRS regulations.
• Meet directly with clients to assess their accounting and tax needs, ensuring a high-caliber and consultative approach in all client interactions.
• Establish processes and methodologies for managing and reporting on clients' deferred compensation plans.
• Build strong, cross-functional relationships with internal teams to ensure seamless delivery of services and account management.
• Stay informed on developing regulations, industry trends, and best practices related to NQDC plans and executive benefits.
• Offer strategic insights and solutions to clients, leveraging deep accounting knowledge.
• Train and mentor colleagues and staff as appropriate to ensure continuity in service delivery and knowledge-sharing across the organization.

For immediate consideration regarding the Director of Accounting Services position, please send your resume to Mitch Anderson, VP and Practice Director. ***You can find my email on LinkedIn (Mitch Anderson, MBA) to send me your resume directly. You can also call (407) 214-8427.

Qualifications:

• CPA designation required.
• Proven experience in non-qualified deferred compensation (NQDC) plans highly preferred; candidates without NQDC experience should demonstrate strong aptitude and eagerness to learn this specialized industry.
• Background in public accounting or a client-facing role with exposure to executive-level consulting is highly desirable.
• In-depth knowledge of tax regulations, financial reporting requirements, and accounting principles (GAAP).
• Strong interpersonal and client service skills, with the ability to build and maintain trusted relationships with Fortune 500 clients and executives.
• Excellent analytical skills with a strategic mindset for problem-solving and process improvement.
• High emotional intelligence (EQ) and the ability to navigate complex client needs and communications effectively.
• Self-starter with the ability to thrive in a dynamic, entrepreneurial environment.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Previous experience in the benefits consulting industry or with a similar firm specializing in NQDC services.
• Experience supporting executive leadership in client services or consulting roles.
