YOUR TEAM.  

We currently have an exciting career opportunity for a Technical Accounting Manager to join our CFO Advisory team.

CohnReznick is a hybrid firm meaning 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.
