We currently have an exciting career opportunity for a Senior Manager to join our Controllership & SEC Financial Reporting Managed Services team in our CFO Advisory practice.

CohnReznick is a hybrid firm and most of our professionals are located within a commutable distance to one of our offices.

The group works with the office of the CFO function from startups to middle market to upper middle market companies.  We help CFOs navigate strategic, operational, and accounting challenges.  We regularly assist them in preparing for a public or a private transaction and work closely with the M&A group in providing pre and post-transaction support.  Come and join us in our journey to helping other finance and accounting executives conceptualize and develop the finance and accounting infrastructure to scale for success.
