About Equity Methods

Equity Methods is a finance, accounting, and human capital consulting firm that embraces the synergistic role of technology and expertise in creating client impact. We deliver impact-rich services across three core practice groups: financial reporting, valuation services, and HR advisory.


With over 60 professionals and experience serving hundreds of publicly traded clients (including 35 Fortune 100 companies), Equity Methods seeks to combine the best of a large professional services firm with the best of an entrepreneurial, technology-enabled company. We work hard in the quest to have high impact and deliver exemplary client service that supports our client retention and overall growth story. We have consistently been rated a Careerbuilder® Top Company to Work for in Arizona.

High-Impact Role

Excellence matters to us. We work tirelessly to delight our clients, build outstanding engagement procedures, deliver head-turning thought leadership in our publishing and presenting, and make our own employees feel appreciated and noticed.

As our client service professionals are constantly two feet in taking care of clients, we need a proactive professional to serve a team of internal clients by supporting key internal initiatives. We receive over 1,000 resumes a year and interview many of them, attend over a dozen conferences, execute numerous client events, and always have miscellaneous other strategic initiatives in play.

This is a high-impact, internal client service role. It will serve four primary internal clients: hiring managers leading our recruiting and associate interviewing, business development, marketing, and the CEO on various tasks. The successful candidate will be proactive, organized, comfortable working with different personalities, and able to execute in a fast-paced, judgment-rich environment. We are a culture that values high attention to detail, a bias toward action over talking, strong analytical reasoning, and exceptional judgment.

  • Able to communicate succinctly when necessary (the position serves busy executives) and navigate ambiguity with gusto
  • Writes logical, grammatically correct instructions, directions, correspondence, etc.

  • Requests input and feedback on a regular basis; learns from prior experiences and incorporates learning into day-to-day activities
  • Executes well with limited guidance and direction; figures stuff out; possess a strong reputation for just “getting it”; handles stress well and does not cave in ambiguous situations
