How we staff an engagement

A principal leads every engagement from the first conversation to closeout. Specialists join for the part of the problem that is theirs: a CPA for the close, a data scientist for the backbone, a transactions lead for the deal. Teams stay small enough that everyone on them knows the whole problem.

Join us

We add partners and principals by referral, and we take one operations analyst intern each semester. If you have run programs, transformed a finance function, or built the data systems behind either, we would like to hear from you.
