Consulting Associate
About OVG
At OVG, we help FP&A and Strategic Finance teams scale their capabilities and bridge planning, execution, and strategy with tech-enabled services.
With many years of experience as operators, consultants, and technologists, we work with clients to select, implement, adopt, and evolve the right technology solutions and business processes for their unique business needs.
Founded in 2019, we are committed to building a next-generation consultancy that offers a powerful combination of financial advisory, operational execution, and a portfolio of technology solutions - our own Platform Planning Approach with Fabric, Power Platform, and M365 for those who want to build, and new tools likes Abacum for those want to buy – to empower our clients.
About Our Team
We are a team with a focus on developing top talent organically and scaling our business with technology and a talent-dense team, just like many of our clients. We emphasize our dual threat principle when hiring - combining business acumen and technical expertise into one powerful package. We have few hierarchy levels and are not separated into silos. At OVG you’ll have a unique opportunity to build a business, develop real skills, and work with great, forward-thinking clients.

Developing core product offerings, including templates, accelerators, demos, and our own internal business applications.
