4. FP&A

  • Lead budgeting, forecasting, and long‑range planning for the Kroll services portfolio.
  • Provide variance analysis with clear commentary on revenue, margin, and cost drivers.
  • Build dashboards and KPIs tailored to professional services (e.g., utilization, bill rates, realization, backlog burn).

5. Pricing, Bids & Commercial Governance

  • Partner with Sales on pricing strategy, discount governance, and deal shaping.
  • Review SOWs for financial soundness, risk exposure, and margin expectations.
  • Support competitive pricing analysis and rate‑card optimization.

6. Reporting & Insights

  • Deliver monthly business reviews with actionable insights for senior leadership.
  • Provide analysis on customer profitability, offering performance, and market trends.
  • Develop models to evaluate new service lines, partnerships, and go‑to‑market investments.

7. Controls, Compliance & Process Improvement

  • Ensure adherence to revenue‑recognition policies for professional services.
  • Strengthen financial controls around time entry, project setup, and billing.
  • Drive automation and process improvements across forecasting, reporting, and project financials

  • Professional certification preferred (CPA, ACA, ACCA, CIMA, or equivalent).
  • 8-10+ years of progressive finance experience, including significant experience as a Finance Business Partner in a professional or consulting services environment.
  • Proven experience operating and partnering with senior executives and business line leaders.
  • Strong background supporting professional services economics, including complex client engagements and multi-service delivery models.
  • Demonstrated experience with pricing strategy, deal structuring, and commercial decision support in a consulting or tech-enabled services context.
  • Experience in high-growth, matrixed, or global organizations strongly preferred.
  • Deep expertise in professional services financial drivers, including utilization, billable rates, realization, margin management, backlog, and pipeline forecasting.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
