Executive Assistant

We specialize in providing a full suite of services, mainly in finance and accounting but also encompassing commercialization business areas such as marketing, contract, HR, etc., to entrepreneurial and growth-oriented companies, creating operational foundations and high-performance teams for a profitable future. No two engagements are the same. We develop a thorough understanding of each company’s business to identify needs then execute solutions as appropriate for that company in its life-cycle stage.

About the Position We are seeking a high-impact Executive Assistant to partner directly with the firm’s President on complex, high-priority projects that expand his capacity and effectiveness.

The ideal candidate thrives in a fast-paced environment, exercises strong judgment with incomplete information, and takes ownership of outcomes that meaningfully free the President to focus on the firm’s highest-leverage opportunities About You You have experienced success thus far in your career, with 5 to 10 years of experience of increasing responsibility, accounting acumen and are comfortable in executive circles.
