Job description

Senior Business Consultant
Nationwide | 100% Travel | Sunday–Friday

At ISI, we don’t just hire for open roles—we hire for impact. If you’re exceptional at what you do and align with our core values—entrepreneurial ownership, results over talk, radical clarity, and resilience under pressure—we want to know you.

ROLE:

As a Senior Business Consultant at ISI, you are the sharp, hands-on strategist who parachutes into small-to-mid-sized companies and drives real, bottom-line change. You don’t just advise from a distance—you embed with the client team, build financial visibility from scratch, implement systems, and teach owners how to lead their business to sustainable profit.

This role is built for entrepreneurial operators with strong financial acumen, Excel mastery, and the communication skills to gain trust, challenge assumptions, and lead transformations across a wide range of industries. If you’re someone who has owned or led a business—and you know what it takes to turn it around—we want you on the ground with us.

You’ll fly out on Sundays, spend the week at client sites (Monday–Friday), and return home Fridays, traveling nationwide to consult on-site 50+ hours per week. It’s fast-paced, high-impact, and deeply rewarding.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

Financial Modeling & Visibility

• Build complete P&L, balance sheet, and 13-week cash flow forecasts in Excel from raw financials
• Develop clear, actionable reporting tools for clients using Excel and QuickBooks
• Identify margin gaps, cost issues, and cash inefficiencies

Operational & Strategic Execution

• Analyze all areas of the business—sales, ops, finance, team—and create Value Enhancement Plans
• Implement systems and processes that drive measurable cash and profit improvements
• Facilitate change with direct communication, strategic urgency, and empathy

Client Enablement & Education

• Train business owners and leaders on financial and operational best practices
• Conduct weekly Value Enhancement Reviews, presenting results and next steps
• Build trust through accountability and performance—not theory

Project Tracking & Expansion

• Track project KPIs and ROI impact
• Identify opportunities for expanded service or referrals
• Partner with Project Managers to align on weekly strategy and execution

RESULTS:

• Every client receives a fully built financial model with immediate operational insights
• Systems are implemented that drive real margin, cash flow, and profit gains
• Business owners are trained and empowered to sustain improvements post-engagement
• Weekly KPIs and Value Enhancement Reviews are delivered on time and with clarity
• Expansion and referral opportunities are surfaced and qualified

SCHEDULE:

• Full-time | Monday–Friday at client sites
• Weekly travel required (Sunday evening departures, Friday night returns)

Our 240+ Senior Business Consultants serve owners of privately held companies across North America with one mission: to make every client more money.

• Advanced Excel skills (modeling from scratch, forecasts, dashboards)
• Experience with QuickBooks strongly preferred
• Exceptional communication, facilitation, and change-management abilities
• Comfortable working in varied environments—from boardrooms to job sites
