Head of Sales (Former Audit Practitioner)
Tellen
Sales & Business Development
Posted on May 18, 2026
Sell Tellen to the firms you came from. Built for a former audit partner or senior manager who knows the buyer cold and wants to share in a 20% net-of-sales commission program.About the RoleWe are looking for the most credible person an audit firm can buy from: someone who has actually run engagements, signed reports, defended workpapers in inspection, and lived the busy season at a Big 4, BDO, RSM, Grant Thornton, regional, or top mid-market firm.This is a sales leadership role for a former practitioner. You will own the entire revenue motion — strategy, pipeline, pricing, contracts, expansion — selling to the people you used to be: managing partners, audit quality leaders, innovation officers, and engagement partners. You will not sell on hype. You will sell on a tool you yourself would have killed to have when you were the senior manager three weeks before a 10-K was due.The commission program is intentionally aggressive: 20% of net-of-sales (i.e., post-discount, post-implementation cost) for every deal you close, on top of base. We want you to feel the upside of every contract you sign, in the same way an equity partner feels the upside of an engagement they originate. We want sellers who think like owners and execute like the audit partners who built their book one inspection at a time.
