  • Working with top private equity firms, M&A advisors, and corporations
  • Experience with multiple facets of M&A and investment banking projects that require engagement and communication at all levels of the organization

  • Provide final quality control of client deliverables (including Reporting Packages, models, KPI reports, etc) that highlight key financial, commercial, and other trends in the business
  • Review and finalize analysis on financial and operational data, KPIs, cashflow, net working capital, debt items
  • Manage Q&A/investigation process on key areas of the Income Statement, Balance Sheet and other reports, leading to operational insights and improvement opportunities
  • Lead “gap analysis” financial reviews, identifying recommended changes to current financial operations to best practices and more efficient methods of financial processes
  • Manage implementation of best practices for Financial Operations
  • Assist junior team members with analysis of financials and bridge to operations challenges/changes
  • Guide clients as to how to incorporate our reports, processes, and other deliverables into the client’s ongoing business operations
  • Lead meetings and conference calls in financial and business discovery, as well as change management activities
  • Perform detailed analyses and synthesize actionable insights from data sets and unstructured information sources
  • Consult with clients on changes to team structure, business processes or information needs
  • Effectively and efficiently communicate with senior team members in status updates of engagements

In addition to demonstrating a strong work ethic and a capability to lead teams and manage multiple engagements, candidates should have sound technical skills and proficiency in Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint.

  • Has an ability to “stay cool” under pressure and thrive in demanding work environments
  • Has excellent written, presentation, leadership, and interpersonal communication skills
