At VFP Consulting, we believe in hiring great people, not just great resumés. We create value for our clients through exceptional service and professionalism: providing knowledgeable recommendations, identifying and mitigating risk, and challenging the status quo.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT AT VFP

You’ve got an extraordinary opportunity to join a successful and ambitious company on the rise, and to help shape our future.  Perhaps you’ve thrived in this kind of environment before, or maybe you’re with a larger firm and looking for a change of scenery and a chance to have greater impact.  We’re offering a chance to directly influence the evolution of our business with your talent, take your career to the next level, and have fun doing it.

WHAT THE ROLE LOOKS LIKE

The successful hire will combine strong accounting and financial skills, excellent communication skills, and the ability to influence, persuade and resolve issues as they emerge.  Experience with FinancialForce Accounting is a plus.
