Business case:
Currently, the NYM ET practice has a combined revenue goal of $6.75mil with no Directors in the group.
This leads to partners having to perform director and manager level work in addition to driving business in the marketplace. Given our current staffing model of three Partners (one to retire on June 30th), three Managers and eight staff with two additional campus hires beginning in September, the ET practice is in dire need of an experienced Director.
With Carolyn Gould’s upcoming retirement, the practice is in need of someone with strong payroll operations/process experience to drive our global payroll compliance engagements, US payroll operations/integration practice and US shadow payroll compliance initiatives.
Ideal candidate will also have strong payroll tax experience and can lead payroll tax engagements.
Responsibilities will include management of day-to-day client engagements, continued development of ET staff, and marketing efforts to assist in generating additional revenue for the practice. Expected Director revenue: $2.0 M & Expected utilization: 70%.
By adding her to the team, we estimate 10% -15% revenue growth, whereas without her, growth would be limited. An individual like Cheryl is generally not available in the marketplace so we really need to take advantage of this opportunity or EY, Deloitte, will.
