Who You Are

We seek a motivated finance or accounting professional who is excited to transition into Business Development. You do not need a script to talk to a CFO because you have lived in the work they are managing. You are disciplined about follow-through, comfortable owning a revenue target, and motivated by building something rather than maintaining it. You bring a consultative instinct to every client conversation and measure success by the quality of the relationships you develop, not just the deals you close.

Key Responsibilities

As a Business Development professional within our TW Consulting division, you'll be responsible for:
  • Expanding existing client relationships by understanding their evolving needs and offering tailored consulting solutions.
  • Generating new business through strategic outreach, networking, and leveraging industry & technical knowledge.
  • Collaborating with internal cross-divisional teams to leverage relationships and ultimately ensure seamless delivery and client satisfaction.
  • Advising clients on market trends, workforce planning, and talent strategies.
  • Leading client discovery meetings to assess needs and align consulting resources effectively.
  • Developing and executing strategic account plans to drive long-term client engagement and revenue growth.
  • Representing Taylor White at industry events, conferences, and networking functions to enhance brand visibility and build new relationships.
  • Partnering with leadership to identify new service offerings and market opportunities based on client feedback and industry trends.

What We're Looking For
  • 6+ years of combined experience in accounting/finance - ideally within a public accounting, advisory/consulting firm, or similar environment - with demonstrated success in, and passion for, building client and networking relationships.
  • Specific exposure to sales, client service or traditional business development efforts would be a plus.
  • Strong communication and relationship-building skills.
  • A consultative mindset with a drive to create value for clients.
  • Proven ability to identify client needs and translate them into actionable consulting solutions.
  • Exceptional follow-through, organizational skills and attention to detail.
  • Comfort engaging with senior-level stakeholders, including CFOs, Controllers, VP's of Finance, and other decision-makers.
  • Self-starter with a high level of initiative, capable of working independently while contributing to team goals.
