Do you want to work on complex and pressing challenges—the kind that bring together curious, ambitious, and determined leaders who strive to become better every day? If this sounds like you, you’ve come to the right place.

Your Impact

In this role you will be a thought partner to client service teams as well as internal stakeholders and members of leadership, providing deep analytical support to manage the economics throughout the full engagement lifecycle (ensuring appropriate budgeting, revenue recognition, and billing/accounts receivable).  
You will also provide critical forecasting and analyses while making appropriate recommendations, in a variety of environments, including 1:1 conversations with relevant stakeholders.
As a Finance Specialist within the broader North American team, you will help to identify areas of opportunities, lead small projects and initiatives focused on performance and efficiency, while ensuring compliance with firm finance policies.  
Additionally, you will provide ad-hoc analyses and regional/global special project support as needed.
You will nurture an increasing network and connectivity within the financial and office community by: maintaining a body of knowledge and expertise, including communicating the impact of changing practices and policies; collaborating with internal colleagues for process improvement and problem-solving; and mentorship and professional development support of junior colleagues.

Your Growth

You will be an essential member of our North America Client Finance team, working directly with finance managers, client service team leaders and colleagues within client finance and across several administrative functions within the firm. 
You will be a member of the North American team of 40+ accountants, senior accountants, and specialists, reporting to a North America Manager of Finance. 
You will also build strong relationships with client service teams to steer the economics of client engagements in line with policy and ensuring financial accuracy. 
You will be required to partner most closely with the c-suite level equivalent client service team leaders in a variety of communication avenues, including email, phone and video-conference. 
McKinsey is a non-hierarchical network organization, and we place a premium on low-ego, highly-collaborative colleagues, with strong general problem-solving and communication skills, who are able to navigate tricky situations and complex stakeholder groups, act through influence not authority, and craft solutions that balance sometimes competing needs. In-office presence is expected for all colleagues.
