Business Development Director - National Accounting & Finance Practice
WFA Digital Insight
Soni’s Business Development Director for its Accounting & Finance practice is a senior‑level, market‑focused role that blends pure revenue hunting with consultative advisory work. Unlike entry‑level sales jobs, this position expects you to own an entire vertical, craft outbound strategies, and act as a trusted market analyst for clients. The role’s uniqueness lies in its dual mandate: generate fresh pipeline while also expanding Soni’s existing 1,500‑plus client base through cross‑selling. You’ll be the public face of the firm at client meetings and industry events, partnering closely with recruiting teams to deliver talent with speed and precision. Candidates should be comfortable with data‑driven pipeline management, AI‑enabled CRM tools, and the autonomy that comes from a proven production record.
Job Description

Founded in 2016 by Sid Soni with a single mission to build the highest per-desk average human capital firm in staffing, Soni has grown into a place where elite producers come to do the best work of their careers. We deliver talent solutions that move businesses forward - faster, smarter, and with more precision than anyone else in our space. We don’t just fill roles. We solve problems, build teams, and create the human infrastructure that allows organizations to realize their greatest potential.

- Highlight specific revenue numbers or quota achievements in your resume; Soni values proven production.
- Demonstrate familiarity with accounting and finance staffing challenges during the interview, citing relevant client scenarios.
- Prepare a brief market‑intel presentation showing how you would approach outbound prospecting for this vertical.
- Emphasize your experience with CRM and AI tools; be ready to discuss pipeline metrics you’ve managed.
- When negotiating, focus on the uncapped commission structure and potential bonus tiers rather than base salary alone.
- Watch for vague promises about “flexible hours” without clear remote‑work support; ask about technology stipends and home‑office policies.
