Job description

Description

LedgerLogix is a CFO advisory and outsourced accounting firm helping growing, privately held businesses build stronger financial operations. We've grown to a team of 45+ professionals serving 100+ clients nationwide — and we're now expanding into new markets: Cincinnati, Dayton, and Northern Kentucky. We're hiring a Business Development Executive to lead that growth, wherever your existing network is strongest.

This is a relationship-driven role, not a cold-outreach sales job. You'll bring an existing network of business owners and referral partners — CPAs, bankers, attorneys, financial advisors — and grow it into a pipeline of clients who need more than a bookkeeper: a real financial partner who changes how they run their business.

What you'll do:

• Build a qualified pipeline through targeted outreach, not general networking
• Lead discovery conversations that position LedgerLogix as a strategic financial partner
• Develop and maintain relationships with CPAs, attorneys, bankers, and other referral partners
• Represent LedgerLogix in your local business community

What you'll bring:

• A background as a financial advisor, commercial banker, consultant, or entrepreneur
• A track record of originating your own leads and clients — not managing accounts handed to you
• Real, active relationships with business owners and referral partners in your market
• Comfort with a longer, consultative sales cycle

Compensation: On-target earnings (OTE) of $120,000+ per year (base salary plus performance-based incentives)

You’ll be joining at a pivotal moment — helping lead our expansion into three new markets, with the backing of an established team and 100+ clients who already trust us to get their numbers right.

If this sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you.
