Business Development Associate
The role
Cox Consulting
Network (CCN) connects expert-level finance and accounting talent with
PE-backed, mid-market companies through project, fractional, and interim
engagements. We're hiring a Business Development Associate to support our
Austin Market Leader in the development of the Austin market.
This is a strong
fit for someone with a few years of experience in public accounting or finance
who wants to put their networking and communication skills to work in a
client-facing, sales-oriented career, rather than staying on a traditional
accounting track.
You'll start by
learning our clients, our CRM, and how we communicate with the market. As you
demonstrate results, you'll take on direct ownership of accounts and become
eligible to participate in the CCN Sales Compensation Plan with uncapped
commission potential.
What you'll do
You'll
start close to the account work our team does every day, with growing ownership
as you build a track record.
Client Success
and Business Development
● Build relationship intelligence across
prospects, portfolio companies, former clients, and consulting candidates
● Grow CCN's presence within client organizations
across the broader finance and accounting team
● Own customer success conversations with clients,
progressing to full account ownership
● Track referral sources and flag follow-ups as
they come due
● Keep CRM data accurate and current in Zoho:
contacts, opportunities, activity logs, pipeline stage, next steps
● Support interview scheduling and internal BD
relationship tracking
● Help create the client and consultant
experiences that set CCN apart, from executive happy hours to milestone
celebrations
Growth path
This role begins
with a defined runway: building fluency in our accounts and systems, then
taking on direct account ownership as you hit performance milestones. A senior
team member stays involved as a mentor through that transition, and CRM,
research, and pipeline responsibilities remain part of the role as it grows.
Requirements
What we're looking for
● Bachelor's degree in accounting, finance, or a
related field, with a few years of experience in public accounting, finance, or
a similar F&A environment
● Strong written and verbal communication skills
● High attention to detail and organizational
discipline, particularly around CRM data
● Confidence leading client conversations
● Based in Austin, TX; remote-flexible, with local
presence expected for events and in-person touchpoints
Benefits
Compensation & benefits
Base salary:
$75,000, commensurate with experience.
Full benefits
package including competitive medical, dental, vision, life, 401(k), and
flexible time off.
About Cox Consulting Network
Cox Consulting
Network was founded in 2018 by Andy Cox to do things differently in finance and
accounting consulting: a firm built by consultants, for consultants, where
clients get real solutions and work-life balance is more than a talking point.
We're headquartered in Austin with a presence in Houston, and we connect talent
and clients nationwide.
As a privately
owned company, we share profits and savings directly with our consultants and
clients instead of answering to outside investors. Mission comes before margin
here, and transparency along with honest communication is how we build
relationships that last.
