Job Description
Poe Group Advisors is a boutique firm based in Charleston, SC, specializing in assisting accounting firm owners across the United States and Canada in buying and selling their practices. With over 20 years of industry experience, Poe Group Advisors has established a strong reputation for its deep expertise combined with a personalized, relationship-driven approach. The firm's philosophy centers on creating thoughtful, well-matched partnerships rather than merely conducting transactions. Core values such as clarity, consistent follow-through, and delivering excellent work while maintaining enjoyable professional relationships define the firm's culture and approach.
This role is ideal for a personable and organized professional who enjoys building meaningful relationships. The position primarily involves making outbound phone calls to accounting firm owners, introducing the Poe Group Advisors' services, and nurturing these connections through thoughtful follow-up communications. Unlike traditional sales positions, this is not a high-pressure sales role; instead, it focuses on outreach, relationship development, and long-term client engagement. The successful candidate will play a crucial role in expanding the firm's network and identifying potential opportunities for succession planning and firm sales.
The engagement begins as a three-month project with the potential for ongoing work, based on the individual's performance and the evolving business needs of the company. This part-time role offers approximately 10 hours per week with a flexible schedule during normal business hours, allowing for a hybrid work arrangement preferably local to Charleston. Compensation ranges from $28 to $32 per hour, depending on experience, and the firm is open to alternative payment structures such as a monthly retainer. This position offers a unique opportunity to contribute to a respected industry leader while working in a flexible, supportive environment that values professionalism and positive client experiences.
