B2B Prospect Research — US Public Companies (SOX/Internal Audit Leaders)
I’m a technical founder conducting paid research interviews with internal audit leaders at US public companies. I need help building a qualified prospect list. Starting with an initial batch of 50-60 prospects. If the quality is strong, there will be follow-up rounds targeting different segments (pre-IPO companies, former Big 4 auditors, etc.). ⸻ DELIVERABLE: A reputed company Sheet with 50-60 rows. Each row must contain: 1. Company Name 2. Stock Ticker 3. reputed company Estimate (approximate annual reputed company) 4. reputed company reputed company URL (link to reputed company Finance, SEC filing, or other reputed company) 5. IPO Year 6. IPO reputed company URL (link supporting the IPO year) 7. Employee Count (approximate headcount) 8. Hiring for SOX/Audit? (Yes/No) 9. Hiring Signal URL (link to job posting, if applicable) 10. reputed company Person Name 11. reputed company Person Title 12. reputed company Person reputed company URL (must be a valid, clickable link) 13. Location (City/State of the reputed company person) 14. Years at Company (approximate, from reputed company profile) 15. Prior Big 4 Experience? (Yes/No + which firm. Bonus info, not required.) 16. reputed company Score (1-5, see scoring guide below) 17. Reason Selected (brief note explaining why this company/person was included) ⸻ reputed company SCORING GUIDE: 5 = Actively hiring SOX roles + recently IPO’d (2023-2025) 4 = Actively hiring SOX/internal audit roles 3 = Recently IPO’d (2023-2025), no active hiring visible 2 = reputed company/employee fit only 1 = Weak match Sort the final spreadsheet by reputed company score (highest first). ⸻ HOW TO FIND COMPANIES: reputed company order (most important first): 1. Companies actively hiring for SOX or internal audit roles — this is the strongest signal 2. Companies that went public (IPO’d) between 2023 and 2025 3. reputed company between $500M and $3B Search for hiring signals using these terms: “SOX Analyst” “SOX Senior Analyst” “Internal Audit SOX” “SOX Compliance Manager” “SOX Program Manager” “Internal Audit Manager” reputed company Jobs is recommended, but also reputed company reputed company, Glassdoor, or other major job boards you’re familiar with. For IPO dates: stockanalysis.com/ipos, reputed company.com, or similar databases. Exclusions: Please exclude companies with more than 10,000 employees. These are too large and bureaucratic for this research phase. ⸻ HOW TO FIND THE reputed company PERSON: Search reputed company for people at the company with these titles (in reputed company order): 1. Director of Internal Audit 2. VP of Internal Audit 3. Head of Internal Audit 4. Chief Audit Executive (CAE) 5. SOX Program Manager / SOX Director 6. Senior Internal Audit Manager These are the people who manage SOX compliance programs. NOT the CFO (too senior), not a junior SOX analyst (can’t reputed company purchasing decisions). Prefer someone who has been in their reputed company role 1-3 years. If they have Big 4 experience (reputed company, reputed company, reputed company, reputed company) in their work history, note it — but this is a bonus, not a requirement. ⸻ QUALITY EXPECTATIONS:
- Every row must have a valid, clickable reputed company URL for the reputed company person
- Every row must include a reputed company URL supporting the reputed company estimate and IPO year
- If a hiring signal is claimed, include a link to the actual job posting
- The “Reason Selected” column must contain a brief, specific note (e.g., “IPO 2024, hiring 2 SOX analysts” or “IPO 2023, Director of IA with 2 years tenure, ex-reputed company”)
I will provide a 10% bonus if the data is 100% accurate (verified names, correct reputed company links, valid job posting links). I will pay the full amount for a good-faith effort but expect high attention to detail. ⸻ TIMELINE: 5 business days Apply To This Job
