## About CFGI

## Company Overview

- **Founders**: Nick Nardone and Shane Caiazzo

## Core Business

- **Mission or purpose statement**: To serve as a full-service resource equipped to efficiently address clients' most crucial accounting, reporting, tax, and compliance challenges, functioning as an extension of the internal team.

## Products & Services
- **Value Creation Execution Office**: Program management, financial value reconciliation, VCP governance, EBITDA bridge modeling, and board reporting for private equity-backed companies.

- **Key Metric**: Annual revenue estimated at $215M (LinkedIn), with 3,000+ active clients and 1,400+ ex-Big Four professionals

- **Growth Signals**: 30+ global offices across the Americas, Europe, and Asia Pacific; headcount of ~924 employees (+10.5% YoY); expanded to London (2022), Edinburgh, Dublin, and Singapore; completed 10,000+ transactions and 300+ IPOs

## Competitive Advantages
- **Independence from audit constraints**: CFGI is not an audit firm, so it can prepare memos, financial statements, and documentation that auditors cannot, and works directly with audit teams.
- **Senior practitioner model**: Engagements are staffed with senior professionals (ex-Big Four national office backgrounds), not junior teams supervised from a distance.
- **Embedded, not advisory**: Practitioners work alongside management as an extension of the internal team, doing the work rather than just advising.
- **Full-service under one roof**: Covers technical accounting, tax, capital markets, technology, risk, ESG, and operations without siloed handoffs.
- **Institutional backing**: Backed by two of the world’s largest private equity firms (Carlyle and CVC), enabling national and global growth without compromising independence.

## Strategic Focus
- **Global expansion**: Continuing to build out its footprint across the Americas, Europe, and Asia Pacific (30+ offices currently).
- **AI and technology integration**: Embedding AI, automation, and proprietary technology (PRISM platform) into every engagement for faster, sharper delivery.
- **Deepening PE sponsor relationships**: Serving over 500 sponsors and focusing on value creation and transaction advisory for the private equity ecosystem.
- **Scaling the senior practitioner model**: Replicating the grassroots, local-office approach that worked in Boston and New York across new international markets.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture**: Described as a "community-first corporation" where people are the priority internally and externally; employees are empowered to leverage their previous knowledge to craft innovative strategies.
- **Work model**: Practitioners work near clients (side by side), with a "roll-up-the-sleeves" approach. The firm maintains a local presence in 30+ cities, so roles are likely hybrid/office-based near client sites.
- **Career opportunity**: Work on the most complex and interesting accounting and advisory challenges (IPOs, carve-outs, large transactions) alongside the best clients, with direct access to senior leadership.
- **Team composition**: Exclusively former Big Four professionals (1,400+), meaning you join a peer group of high-caliber talent from Deloitte, PwC, EY, and KPMG.
- **Growth trajectory**: Rapid headcount growth (+10.5% YoY), recent international expansion, and backing from top-tier PE firms signal strong momentum and career advancement potential.
