• Strong financial acumen with experience analyzing business data, financial information, operational metrics, and performance drivers.

• Experience analyzing core business processes, including procure-to-pay, order-to-cash, record-to-report, supply chain planning, and working capital.

• Ability to manage assigned projects, communicate with stakeholders, and balance competing priorities in transaction environments.

• Excellent analytical, problem-solving, communication, and presentation skills.

• Exposure to private equity or large corporate environments.

• Background or interest in finance transformation, operational excellence, supply chain management, or digital transformation.

• Professional certifications such as CPA, CFA, or Lean Six Sigma are a plus.

What You'll Do:

• Support end-to-end delivery of M&A integration, separation, carve-out, and stand-up engagements for private equity, private equity-backed, and / or corporate clients.

• Execute workstreams across finance, HR, IT, operations, supply chain, legal, sales, or commercial functions to ensure alignment with transaction objectives and critical milestones.

• Execute against integration and separation plans, including pre-close planning, Day 1 readiness, TSA planning, and synergy identification, analysis, and value tracking.

• Analyze financial, operational, and organizational data to identify patterns, risks, and opportunities that support performance improvement and value creation.

• Identify and evaluate business process and technology opportunities across procure-to-pay, order-to-cash, record-to-report, supply chain, finance, and shared services in relation to M&A scenarios.

• Contribute to development of high-quality client deliverables, including analyses, executive presentations, process documentation, implementation roadmaps, and status reporting.
