Business Consultant
Description
Looking for a place where your expertise truly matters and where you can have the independence and impact of consulting, backed by a trusted team? At Compass Point Consulting, we believe family businesses are the heart of our economy and communities. Our mission is simple yet powerful: help them thrive through generational transitions, strategic growth, and leadership development.
We’re looking for a Family Business Consultant who’s passionate about helping business owners navigate growth, succession, and leadership challenges. This is a hybrid role that can be based in Philadelphia or Harrisburg, PA. You’ll work from home when you’re not traveling to clients (usually assigned within a 90-minute radius from home).
What you’ll do
As a Family Business Consultant here, you’ll focus on what you love: guiding family businesses through critical decisions and creating lasting change, while we provide the support and resources you need. Your insights will build relationships that span generations, so your expertise isn’t just valued, it’s amplified. Day to day will vary based on the clients you work with, but you can expect the following:
- Consult and coach family business leaders on strategy, growth, profit, succession, governance, and team development.
- Collaborate with fellow consultants to design and implement solutions aligned with our IP, The Six Pillars of Your Family Business™
- Facilitate planning sessions and workshops with ownership groups, leadership teams, and family members (virtually and in person).
- Interpret financials and build financial models to guide clients toward improved profitability, valuation, and capital allocation.
- Lead a portfolio of active client engagements, balancing relationship-building with strategic insight and clear deliverables.
- Create content (e.g., articles, presentations, webinars) that strengthens Compass Point’s position in your assigned market.
- Conduct marketing workshops with our Circle of Influence (COI) partners and at industry tradeshows and events.
- Leverage your network to support business development through referrals and introductions.
What you need to thrive in this role
- Bachelor’s degree and MBA preferred
- 10+ years of experience in business consulting, corporate strategy, or executive leadership
- Proven ability to advise business owners and C-suite leaders on complex decisions
- Strong financial and strategic acumen
- Excellent facilitation, communication, and conflict resolution skills
- Ability to build long-term client relationships
- Collaborative mindset and alignment with core values
- Comfortable with regional travel and hybrid work
