We partner with Private Equity clients and their Portfolio Companies across diverse sectors, including Retail, CPG, Healthcare, Media & Entertainment, Technology, and Logistics.

This role can be based in any of our US office locations and is a hybrid role with the flexibility to work remotely 2 days a week. Ideal candidates should be local to the desired location.

This position is not eligible for immigration sponsorship.

Accordion Intelligence Lab

The AI Lab is composed of leading software and AI engineers, designing agentic-AI solutions ahead of the market. Our group builds and operationalizes the AI systems that power Accordion’s consulting capabilities, from agentic architectures and RAG pipelines to evaluation frameworks and production observability.

The Lab works closely with practice leaders to translate research findings into scalable, reliable tools that advance Accordion’s AI-driven value creation work for PE clients and their portfolio companies.

About the Role

We're looking for a Data Specialist to join one of Accordion's AI-augmented delivery pods. These pods are purpose-built teams that combine AI engineering, data science, and product management to transform how PE-backed companies run finance and operations.

In this role, you are the person who makes data work in practice. You move fluidly between messy source systems and production-ready pipelines, and you do it fast. You'll work directly alongside AI engineers and product managers to scope data requirements, diagnose quality issues, and build the data foundations that AI systems depend on. Client-facing moments come with the territory. You'll need to ask sharp questions, explain what you're seeing in plain language, and earn trust quickly.

This is not a role for someone who needs clean handoffs and stable requirements. The data is complicated, the timelines are short, and the problems change. If that sounds like the environment where you do your best work, this is the role.

What You’ll Do

• Build and maintain the data pipelines, models, and integrations that AI systems depend on, from raw source data to production-ready outputs
• Scope, design, and write custom ML models tailored to client problems, from feature engineering through evaluation and deployment
• Explore unfamiliar datasets with speed and rigor: identify structure, surface anomalies, and form a clear point of view on what the data can and can't support
• Diagnose data quality issues quickly, communicate their impact clearly, and drive resolution without waiting to be asked
• Work directly alongside AI engineers and product managers to translate ambiguous client problems into reliable, well-documented data products
• Run client working sessions on data (source system walkthroughs, model findings, quality assessments) and own the room when you do
• Tell the data story to non-technical audiences: in a chart, in a slide, in a meeting with a CFO who doesn't have time for jargon
• Navigate enterprise data environments fluently (ERP systems, BI platforms, financial data infrastructure) and get things done inside them
• Use AI tools to move faster across the full scope of your work: exploration, modeling, documentation, and client communication
• Travel to client site as needed

Success in the First 6 Months

• Own end-to-end data delivery on multiple AI engagements, from initial source system assessment through production-ready pipelines
• Establish a reputation within your pod for being the person who finds the data problem before it becomes the team's problem
• Run direct client working sessions on data (scope, quality, or access) and leave the client confident in your read of the situation
• Demonstrate faster, higher-quality output because of how you use AI tools, not just that you use them

 What You’ll Bring

• Deep, practical data skills across the full stack: SQL, Python, machine learning, data modeling, pipeline development, and hands-on experience with messy, real-world source systems
• Strong instincts for data quality: You find the problem, quantify the impact, and communicate what it means before anyone has to ask
• Experience working in fast-moving, sprint-based environments where requirements shift and you still ship
• Comfort working directly with clients: Asking the right questions, translating technical findings into plain language, and building credibility quickly
• Background in finance or PE-adjacent environments: ERP systems, FP&A data, financial close processes, or portfolio company data infrastructure
• Fluent with AI and ML workflows: Enough to understand what the engineers need from the data layer, why it matters, and the ability to teach what you know
• AI tools woven into how you work daily, with demonstrably faster output to show for it
• Strong written communication: you can document a model, write a findings summary, produce compelling stories from messy data, and draft a client-facing issue log clearly and quickly

This is a high-velocity environment. Sprints are short, client expectations are high, and we don’t slow down between engagements. If you’ve spent time in large enterprise engineering organizations where velocity is constrained by process, this will feel different.

The people who thrive here are those who find the pace energizing, not exhausting. They ship fast because they’ve internalized good judgment (not because they cut corners). They use AI tools to multiply their output, communicate clearly with non-technical stakeholders, and course-correct quickly when something isn’t working.

The annual salary for this role ranges from: $144,500 to $230,000 USD + significant bonus + benefits. Actual compensation packages are determined by evaluating a wide array of factors unique to each candidate, including but not limited to geographic location, skill set, years and depth of experience, education, certifications, cost of labor and internal equity.

Accordion is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We are committed to building a team that represents a variety of backgrounds, perspectives, and skills.  We do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, marital status, age, national origin, ancestry, physical or mental disability, medical​​​ condition, pregnancy, genetic information, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or ​expression, veteran status, or any other status protected under federal, state, or local law.

We are the better way to work in finance. As private equity’s value creation partner, we sit at the heart of PE—where sponsors and CFOs meet. Through financial consulting rooted in data, technology, and AI, we help clients drive value—supporting the office of the CFO to drive end-to-end value creation. 

If you crave challenging work and are looking to grow, come solve complex issues alongside 1,600+ finance & technology experts in a supportive, collaborative environment.  

Backed by premier private equity firms and headquartered in New York with 11 offices around the globe, we are a high-growth, entrepreneurial firm looking for people who want to be part of building something great. Come make your mark. 

Operational & Technical Accounting Practice

With the increase in complexity of the business environment and transactions, CFOs of private equity-backed companies are increasingly being looked towards to drive strategic insights for their business. Finance organizations are no longer simply result reporters, but rather, they couple these results with forward-looking data to provide strategic insights which are leveraged to make business decisions. Efficiency of process and meaningful control environments allows for speed of financial reporting with increasingly accurate measures, leaving more time for the finance team to add future enterprise value, rather than look backwards.

Accordion’s Operational & Technical Accounting Advisory (O&T) Practice is comprised of a dedicated team providing accounting and financial advice to support PE-backed portfolio companies on a wide range of transactions and events, including Accounting Policies & Procedures, ERP/Financial System Execution, Financial Statement Close Process, Process & Controls Implementation, Technical Accounting, Finance/Accounting Assessment & Design and Finance & Accounting Organization Standup from a Carve-Out or Merger.  We are doers and problem solvers – making sense of complexity and bolstering sponsors’ value creation theses.

This role can be based in any of our US office locations (NYC, Chicago, Dallas, Boston, San Francisco, or Los Angeles) and is a hybrid role with the flexibility to work remotely 2 days a week. Ideal candidates should be local to the desired location. Travel to client sites will be required as needed.

This position is not eligible for immigration sponsorship.

What You’ll Do:

As part of a lean, cross-functional team, the O&T Associate will play a vital role in identifying and rectifying issues across a broad range of scenarios. The following representative engagements are emblematic of the type of work you’ll do as an O&T Associate at Accordion:

• A rapidly growing company with a global footprint routinely takes 45 days to close its books and produce financial statements. You and the team are brought in to:
  • Perform deep-dives and gain an understanding of current state processes, people, and systems (both on paper and in reality)
  • Identify root causes and provide recommendations on how to improve broken processes, bridge control gaps, and better align roles and responsibilities with best practices
  • Implement tools and creative solutions that the accounting function can use to streamline their close process (e.g. introduce materiality limits, close checklists, and calendars)
• The team is advising a cash-basis company going through their first-year audit. You will assist the team with the following initiatives:
  • Cash to US GAAP conversion, adopting key accounting standards such as revenue recognition and lease accounting
  • The timely and accurate preparation of financial statements, account reconciliations, and supporting schedules 
  • Project managing the audit timeline throughout the engagement
• Following the acquisition of three similar, stand-alone businesses, a PE Sponsor has identified the need to consolidate operations in order to realize the synergies identified in their investment thesis. Get ready to:
  • Design a singular finance function that can serve all three businesses; you’ll put together intuitive processes and controls and realign roles and responsibilities to suit the strengths of the individuals
  • Draft a unified set of policies and procedures that speak to all three businesses and encourages them to operate with consistency
  • Design a standard chart of accounts for a consolidated business
  • Select, implement, and champion a robust ERP solution which meets the needs of the combined business
  • Conduct purchase accounting analyses and establish US GAAP-compliant opening balance sheets for each transaction
  • Consolidate their existing financial reporting from disparate systems, including aligning with US GAAP and adjusting for deviations in accounting policies and procedures, to produce a single source of numerical truth
• In order to keep pace with its competitors, a technology company is looking to move away from a traditional subscription-based model to a SaaS model, and requires guidance in dealing with the key finance and accounting implications which will ensue. You are part of a team that will:
  • Address changes in revenue recognition requirements and draft accounting policies that affirm the new normal
  • Challenge existing assumptions in underlying revenue forecasts and associated cost-drivers
  • Evolve the invoicing process to reflect new business processes

You Have:

• Minimum 3 years of experience (ideally 3+) working in financial accounting or operations at a top-tier public accounting or financial advisory firm, and/or private company
• Bachelor's degree in Accounting or related field; CPA is a plus
• A strong and up-to date knowledge of US GAAP (exposure to IFRS is a plus), with deep technical understanding of topics such as ASC 606 revenue recognition, lease transactions, purchase accounting, etc.
• Experience in the following areas: technical accounting advisory, audit readiness, and functional accounting / controllership support
• Strong Excel and PowerPoint skills
• Strong client service mindset and communication skills 

You Are:

• A self-starter with a strong work ethic
• A leader of others; you lead by example
• A strong team player, able to work with team members across all levels

This position is not eligible for immigration sponsorship.

About the Role and You

We're looking for a rare combination: a data scientist who thinks like a strategist and a strategist who speaks fluent data. You fall in love with problems and quantify complex situations using math. This isn't a role about building models in isolation—it's about transforming how a business makes decisions, identifies opportunities, and drives growth. You'll be equal parts analyst, advisor, and architect of our strategic direction.

What You'll Do

You'll sit at the intersection of data and strategy, turning complex business challenges into quantifiable opportunities. This means diving deep into our numbers to surface insights that others miss, then translating those insights into actionable growth strategies. You'll work directly with leadership to shape major business decisions, from market expansion and pricing strategy to resource allocation and competitive positioning.
Your day-to-day will involve identifying the right questions to ask before anyone else thinks to ask them, building the analytical frameworks to answer those questions, and presenting recommendations that fundamentally shift how we operate. You'll own strategic initiatives from conception through execution, measuring impact and iterating as you go. You’ll travel to client sites as needed, leading AI assessment and Strategy Engagements.

What We're Looking For

The Strategic Mindset: You naturally think several moves ahead. You understand business models, competitive dynamics, and growth levers. You can walk into a room with executives and hold your own in discussions about market strategy, unit economics, and long-term planning. You've seen how businesses succeed and fail, and you know how to spot the difference.
The Technical Depth: You're genuinely strong in quantitative methods—statistics, predictive modeling, optimization, experimental design. You can wrangle messy data, build robust analyses, and know when a sophisticated model is needed versus when a simple calculation will do. Python, R, SQL are still in your wheelhouse.
The Translation Layer: You can explain complex analytical concepts to non-technical stakeholders without dumbing them down. You know how to build conviction around data-driven recommendations and can defend your methodology when challenged. You make the quantitative accessible and actionable.
The Business Acumen: You understand P&Ls, growth metrics, customer economics, and operational levers. You've worked closely enough with business teams to know what keeps them up at night and how your analyses can help them sleep better.

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in analytical roles with increasing strategic responsibility
• Strong foundation in statistics, machine learning, and quantitative analysis
• Demonstrated experience influencing business strategy through data
• Track record of identifying and driving growth opportunities
• Excellent communication skills with technical and executive audiences
• Proficiency in modern data science tools and languages
• Understanding of business finance and growth frameworks

Ideal Background

You might come from management consulting with deep analytical chops, strategic roles at high-growth companies, corporate strategy teams with hands-on data work, or data science roles where you've grown into strategic advisory. What matters most is that you've successfully used data to change how businesses operate and grow.

What Success Looks Like

In your first year, you'll have identified three major strategic opportunities we weren't seeing before, built the analytical infrastructure to evaluate them rigorously, and driven at least one to implementation with measurable business impact. You'll have become a trusted advisor to leadership and the person they turn to when facing the company's thorniest strategic questions.

The annual salary for this role ranges from: $145,000 to $195,000 USD + bonus + benefits. Actual compensation packages are determined by evaluating a wide array of factors unique to each candidate, including but not limited to geographic location, skill set, years and depth of experience, education, certifications, cost of labor and internal equity.

Accordion Intelligence Lab

The AI Lab is composed of leading software and AI engineers, designing agentic-AI solutions ahead of the market. Our group builds and operationalizes the AI systems that power Accordion’s consulting capabilities, from agentic architectures and RAG pipelines to evaluation frameworks and production observability.

The Lab works closely with practice leaders to translate research findings into scalable, reliable tools that advance Accordion’s AI-driven value creation work for PE clients and their portfolio companies.

About the Role

We’re looking for experienced AI Engineers to join new AI-augmented delivery pods: purpose-built teams that combine AI engineering, data science, and product management to transform how PE-backed companies run finance and operations.

In this role, you will design and build the AI systems that power client engagements: agentic workflows, RAG pipelines, evaluation frameworks, and production-grade tools that operate in real PE environments. You’ll work directly with clients and cross-functional pod teammates from day one, and you will be expected to ship fast, defend your decisions, and continuously raise the bar on what AI-assisted delivery looks like.

This is a highly technical, hands-on role. We move at sprint pace—not quarter pace. If you want to move quickly, own outcomes end-to-end, and build things that matter in finance, this is the role.

What You’ll Do

• Design and build multi-agent systems and RAG pipelines that automate financial workflows for PE-backed portfolio companies
• Own the full stack from prompt engineering and tool design through deployment and monitoring
• Practice eval-driven development: define how success is measured before you build
• Translate ambiguous client problems into engineering requirements and deliver results in compressed timeframes
• Present and defend architectural decisions to technical and non-technical audiences—including CFOs and PE operators
• Build observability and evaluation infrastructure to continuously improve production AI system quality
• Travel to client site as needed

Success in the First 6 Months

• Work with like-mined AI engineers to ship at least one end-to-end agentic solution in a client engagement, from scoping through production
• Establish evaluation infrastructure for your pod’s systems so that quality is measurable and regressions are caught early
• Demonstrate materially faster delivery cycles because of how you use AI tools—not just that you use them
• Build a reputation within the pod and with clients as someone who can be handed a hard problem and trusted to return a working, defensible solution

What You’ll Bring

• AI tools are woven into how you work daily—you are materially faster because of it, and you can demonstrate that concretely
• 3–8+ years of software engineering experience with a notable portion in AI/ML systems, agent development, or applied LLM engineering
• Hands-on experience building production LLM applications: RAG systems, agentic workflows, tool use, multi-agent orchestration
• Proficiency in Python; experience with LangChain, LangGraph, AutoGen, DSPy, or equivalent orchestration frameworks
• Strong grasp of evaluation methodologies: designing evals, catching regressions, assessing LLM output quality
• Solid data engineering fundamentals: ETL design, SQL/NoSQL, vector databases, streaming or batch pipelines

Nice to Have

• Open-source contributions in the AI/ML space
• Finance or PE domain experience: FP&A, GL data, ERP systems (NetSuite, SAP), or financial workflow automation
• Experience building tools for reuse across multiple clients or in multi-tenant architectures
• Prior experience in consulting, professional services, or client-facing delivery environments

This is a high-velocity environment. Sprints are short, client expectations are high, and we don’t slow down between engagements. If you’ve spent time in large enterprise engineering organizations where velocity is constrained by process, this will feel different.

The people who thrive here are those who find the pace energizing, not exhausting. They ship fast because they’ve internalized good judgment—not because they cut corners. They use AI tools to multiply their output, communicate clearly with non-technical stakeholders, and course-correct quickly when something isn’t working.

The annual salary for this role ranges from: $144,500 to $230,000 USD + significant bonus + benefits. Actual compensation packages are determined by evaluating a wide array of factors unique to each candidate, including but not limited to geographic location, skill set, years and depth of experience, education, certifications, cost of labor and internal equity.

About the Role

We’re looking for an AI Product Manager to join one of Accordion’s new AI-augmented delivery pods—purpose-built teams that combine AI engineering, data science, and product management to transform how PE-backed companies run finance and operations.

In this role, you are the translation layer between client problems and AI system design. You don’t manage Jira tickets, you shape what gets built and why. You’ll run discovery sessions, write tight requirements, and keep sprints moving at a pace that only works if you’re using AI to think faster, write better, and communicate more clearly.

We move at sprint pace, not quarter pace. If you want to own outcomes end-to-end, work directly with PE clients, and build things that matter in finance, this is the role.

What You’ll Do

• Interface with executive clients, garner trust in our services, and fill in your own knowledge gaps in real time.
• Translate ambiguous client problems into clear engineering requirements: PRDs, user stories and functional specs (and do it fast)
• Run client discovery sessions and earn trust quickly, including with CFOs and PE operators
• Own sprint planning and delivery coordination across your pod’s AI engineers and data scientists
• Define success criteria and KPIs for AI-powered features before they are built, not after
• Identify and communicate when an AI system isn’t performing reliably; bridge the gap between technical diagnosis and client-facing communication
• Use AI tools for 50%+ of your written output: requirements, stakeholder communications, research, and sprint planning
• Travel to client site as needed

Success in the First 6 Months

• Lead requirements and delivery coordination for at least one end-to-end AI engagement, from discovery through production
• Establish a reputation with your pod and with clients as someone who can run a room, write a tight PRD, and hold a sprint together
• Demonstrate materially faster output because of how you use AI tools, not just that you use them
• Show that you understand AI system behavior well enough to write requirements that aren’t naive about what LLMs can and can’t do

What You’ll Bring

• AI tools are woven into how you work daily, you are materially faster because of it, and you can demonstrate that concretely
• 3–6+ years of PM or delivery management experience in a technical or AI product context
• PE or finance domain experience: FP&A, financial close, ERP systems, or finance transformation programs
• Background in consulting or professional services delivery
• Experience with the commercial dimension of AI products—thinking about adoption, product-market fit, and client value capture, not just delivery
• Demonstrated ability to translate messy, ambiguous business problems into clear engineering requirements
• Experience working directly with engineers on AI/ML or data-intensive products
• Strong written communication skills, you can write a tight PRD, user story, or functional spec (and you can do it fast)
• Comfort with iterative, sprint-based delivery under real time pressure. The world is changing around us, and you’ll drive our products as an agent of change.

This is a high-velocity environment. Sprints are short, client expectations are high, and we don’t slow down between engagements. If you’ve spent time in large enterprise engineering organizations where velocity is constrained by process, this will feel different.

The people who thrive here are those who find the pace energizing, not exhausting. They ship fast because they’ve internalized good judgment—not because they cut corners. They use AI tools to multiply their output, communicate clearly with non-technical stakeholders, and course-correct quickly when something isn’t working.

The annual salary for this role ranges from: $144,500 to $230,000 USD + significant bonus + benefits. Actual compensation packages are determined by evaluating a wide array of factors unique to each candidate, including but not limited to geographic location, skill set, years and depth of experience, education, certifications, cost of labor and internal equity.

The Role

We’re looking for a Technical Recruiter who can own full-cycle hiring for Accordion’s CFO Technology, and Data, Analytics & AI practices. This is not a generalist recruiting seat. The right person has direct experience hiring AI/ML engineers, data scientists, and technical product managers in a competitive market. They know what a strong GitHub profile looks like, they can tell the difference between a candidate who uses AI tools daily and one who lists them as keywords, and they’re comfortable engaging deeply technical hiring managers as a true partner.

This role can be based in any of our US office locations and is a hybrid role with the flexibility to work remotely 2 days a week, blending the best of both worlds for efficiency and collaboration. Ideal candidates should be local to the desired locations.

This position is not eligible for immigration sponsorship.

What You’ll Do:

As part of our lean Talent Acquisition team, you will:

• Partner with practice leadership and hiring managers to define requirements, calibrate on candidate quality, evolve interview processes, and provide market-informed recruiting strategy
• Build and run sourcing strategies that go beyond LinkedIn: GitHub-based sourcing, technical communities, niche platforms, and referral networks
• Evaluate and recommend new sourcing tools as the market evolves
• Screen candidates for genuine AI-first technical depth, not just keyword matches
• Track and manage pipeline in Greenhouse. Use data to inform sourcing strategy, identify bottlenecks, and report progress to stakeholders
• Manage offer details, approvals, and comp negotiations in coordination with senior leadership
• Provide market intelligence on AI/ML talent supply, comp trends, and competitive landscape to hiring managers and leadership
• Integrate Accordion’s employee value proposition and brand strategy into all recruitment activity at all levels across all platforms

You Have:

• 3+ years of technical recruiting experience with a meaningful portion spent hiring AI/ML engineers, data scientists, or adjacent technical roles
• Demonstrated ability to source and close passive candidates in a competitive AI talent market
• Hands-on experience with GitHub-based sourcing or other technical signal evaluation beyond LinkedIn profiles
• Familiarity with modern AI/ML tooling and frameworks (enough to have informed conversations with candidates and hiring managers about their work)
• Proficiency with Greenhouse or a comparable ATS and LinkedIn Recruiter
• Strong judgment on candidate quality, including an eye for red flags and fabrication in technical resumes
• Thrives in a fast-paced, high-growth environment where priorities shift and speed matters
• Uses AI tools in your own recruiting workflow (we practice what we preach)

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience recruiting in consulting, professional services, or PE-backed companies
• Knowledgeable about the relationship between Private Equity sponsors and their portfolio companies, particularly within the office of the CFO
• Familiarity with the CFO Technology ecosystem: ERP (NetSuite), CRM (Salesforce) and CPM/EPM (Anaplan, Adaptive, OneStream, BlackLine, FloQast, Pigment, Oracle Cloud EPM)
• Agency recruiting background (you know how to hunt, not just post and pray)
• Experience building or scaling a recruiting function, not just inheriting one

Who You Are:

• Technically fluent enough to evaluate signal. You don’t need to code, but you recognize meaningful open-source contributions and can spot inflated experience
• A natural sourcer—you proactively find top candidates rather than waiting for applicants
• Direct and low-ego. You give honest assessments, even when it means pushing back on hiring managers
• Data-driven. You track pipeline metrics, understand conversion rates, and adjust your approach accordingly
• Highly organized under pressure, able to manage 8–10+ open roles simultaneously
• A strong writer. Your outreach is specific, concise, and never feels templated
• Entrepreneurial and comfortable operating in a fluid, flat organization
• A collaborative team player who works effectively across all levels

Salary: $100,000 to $150,000 + benefits + bonus
