Managing Director

Madison-Davis, LLC, New York, NY, United States


Managing Director / Partner – Accounting & Finance Contract & Temporary Staffing

Madison Davis is launching a brand-new Accounting & Finance contract and temporary staffing division, and we’re looking for a senior-level builder to lead it from day one.

This is a true zero-to-one opportunity for an elite hunter who wants to create something underneath them — not inherit a book, not manage someone else’s leftovers. You’ll own the vision, the client strategy, and the revenue build-out for A&F temp, with the autonomy to shape how the practice is built, scaled, and positioned in the market.

If you’ve been successful building contract business and is ready for a seat where your effort directly turns into influence, scale, and long-term upside, this role was designed for you.

What You’ll Own

  • Build Madison Davis’ Accounting & Finance contract and temporary staffing division from the ground up.
  • Drive all business development efforts — opening new client relationships and expanding them into long-term, high-margin partnerships.

Establish Madison Davis as a go-to partner for A&F contract talent, supporting roles such as:

  • Staff and Senior Accountants
  • Accounting Managers and Controllers (interim / project-based)
  • Financial Analysts and FP&A professionals
  • SEC Reporting, SOX, Internal Audit, and Technical Accounting consultants
  • Interim finance leadership support
  • Create and execute go-to-market strategy, pricing, and client targeting for the division.
  • Partner with recruiting leadership to build delivery underneath you as the business scales.
  • Identify opportunities to expand into new markets, industries, and client segments.
  • Own the financial health of the division, including margins, billing discipline, and account growth.
  • Serve as a strategic advisor to finance leaders, not just a transactional vendor.

What You Bring

  • A proven track record as a hunter in Accounting & Finance contract or temporary staffing.
  • Experience building a book of business from scratch or materially scaling an early-stage desk.
  • Strong understanding of A&F contract hiring, pricing models, and margin management.
  • The ability to open doors with CFOs, Controllers, and senior finance leadership.
  • Entrepreneurial mindset with comfort in autonomy, accountability, and ownership.
  • Motivation to build something that grows beyond you — a real platform, not just personal production.

Why Madison Davis

Madison Davis is a 50-year-old firm with deep roots in financial services, banking, and professional services — and we’re intentionally expanding into high-impact growth areas.

This role is not a plug-and-play leadership position. It’s a chance to create a division, build a team beneath you, and shape the future of our Accounting &Finance platform with full executive backing.

If you’re ready to stop renting space and start building something that’s truly yours, this is that opportunity.
