Manager, Valuation & Advisory

About Brillian Backed by two Fortune 300 firms, Brillian is a technology company focused on helping small to medium sized business owners achieve their goals and the trusted financial institutions that want to better service them. Brillian is a fast-moving, mission-driven team that's building something genuinely new and beginning a roll out to a million SMB owners in 2026. If you want your work to matter and your expertise to have real impact, you'll fit right in here. Small to medium sized business owners are the primary engine of wealth creation in the modern economy. The asset they build — their business — is almost always their largest, most valuable, and most consequential financial holding. Yet the entire financial services infrastructure — advisors, banks, wealth managers, planning tools — was built around personal assets. The infrastructure to serve the most important asset was never built. Brillian doesn't ask advisors, banks, or owners to work harder or learn something new. It fills the structural gap that was always supposed to be there — giving everyone in the ecosystem continuous visibility into the business, and a system for acting on what they see. The Opportunity At Brillian you will join our Valuation and Advisory team to use your expertise to help build a product and the business. Brillian is redefining how business owners understand and optimize their businesses to meet their goals and how financial institutions service business owners. If you thrive in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment, want a career trajectory and want to build something that you have ownership in - not just execute on it - this is the role for you.
