Consulting Partner - Newport LLC : Job Details

About Newport LLC – an advisory firm serving middle market companies

Newport LLC is a unique, national business advisory firm. Our clients work exclusively with former C-Suite executives who have founded, built, bought, and sold successful businesses themselves. We get in the trenches with our clients, to help them overcome almost any business challenge and help them to achieve their vision. Our extraordinary team of executive-level experts gives clients access to a rich and varied pool of experienced talent – from strategy and operations to finance to governance and capital markets. We designed our practice to help CEOs of privately held, lower middle-market companies grow, de-risk, and realize the value of their businesses. We have a special expertise in preparing companies for, and then guiding them through, successful transactions. Partnering with Newport, our clients see solutions sooner and achieve peak value faster with less risk.

Newport is a rapidly growing strategic advisory firm focused on the growing middle market across the United States. Newport, a professional services partnership, began in 2011 and has expanded to a network of 50 partners in 10 major markets and is growing at a 30% annual rate. Our success has been a result of our expertise in serving privately held and family-owned growth-stage companies grow faster, deliver maximum value at exit, and successfully transition from one generation to the next. Achieving this impact is what energizes us as partners and as a firm.

Newport partners are CEOs and C-level executives with a passion for charting new trails, a history of achievement, and a commitment to client success. Our firm is comprised of accomplished executives from private industry, public companies, and C-suite management consulting. Our partners have diverse backgrounds having served as CEOs, CFOs, CMOs and CTOs, and as consultants in large and mid-sized consulting firms. We are all focused on providing our clients with services to increase the performance of their companies, position for exits or assist with the transaction process.

Newport is a 100% partner owned firm dedicated to creating opportunities to produce significant income and wealth creation opportunities for our partners. As a Newport partner, you will be supported by your other partners and a national organization providing training, mentoring, organization and administration, marketing, technology and sales support.

Our firm's business model and collegial and collaborative culture provides a compelling career opportunity for driven and talented individuals. Our compensation model is performance based, not salary based, but highly lucrative for our partners. Our culture and business model are particularly attractive to individuals who have had a successful career in middle market positions and are looking to make a transition to a new and highly rewarding career opportunity and extension. Newport values team players with positive solutions-based attitudes complimented by a strong and dedicated work ethic.
