Job description

Job Title: Accounting Advisory Senior Consultant

Location: Miami, Florida

Henderson Drake is partnering with a fast-growing advisory firm to find a Senior Consultant who brings genuine technical accounting depth and the confidence to operate at the front of complex, high-stakes engagements.

The client base spans pre-IPO businesses, publicly listed companies, and private equity-backed organisations, each presenting its own set of transaction pressures and accounting challenges. M&A, carve-outs, and IPO readiness form the backbone of the firm's work, and the people delivering it need to be as comfortable with ambiguity as they are with the technical detail.

The firm was founded by former Big Four professionals with a deliberate intention to keep things focused, technically rigorous, and free from unnecessary hierarchy. For a Senior Consultant who wants genuine proximity to the decisions that matter and real ownership over how engagements are run, this is where that opportunity exists.

What you will be doing

• Lead engagements spanning M&A, divestitures, IPO readiness, interim management, and technical accounting matters
• Review financial statements and SEC filings, surfacing issues early rather than reacting to them
• Build financial models, forecasts, and supporting analyses that drive decision-making at the highest level
• Collaborate with client finance teams on business process improvement initiatives
• Act as the key point of contact between client senior management and their auditors
• Guide and develop engagement teams, ensuring consistent quality throughout delivery
• Strengthen and expand client relationships, identifying opportunities to add value beyond the immediate brief
• Build deep subject matter expertise in areas such as business combinations, revenue recognition, or stock-based compensation
• Contribute to firm-building initiatives including recruiting and strategic growth activity

What you will bring

• 4+ years in public accounting, audit, or accounting advisory
• CPA or MBA, with a degree in accounting
• Strong technical knowledge of US GAAP and SEC reporting requirements
• Experience managing several engagements simultaneously without losing quality or pace
• The ability to communicate with clarity and authority to boards, auditors, and senior finance leaders
• An entrepreneurial outlook and willingness to contribute beyond the scope of individual mandates
• Flexibility to travel as client needs dictate

Why this opportunity

• Close, direct access to senior management on the transactions that shape their businesses
• Room to develop a recognised technical specialism within a practice that continues to grow
• Sustained client relationships rather than transactional, project-by-project exposure
• A firm where individual contribution genuinely influences its direction
• An advisory culture that has resisted the bureaucracy that typically comes with firms of this quality
