Vice President, Transaction Advisory Services; Financial Due Diligence

United States

The Vice President in our Transaction Advisory Services practice is where analytical ownership meets engagement coordination. You are the engine of execution on active deals: deep enough in the work to catch what matters, and senior enough to direct the team, shape the output, and serve as a credible point of contact for clients when it counts.

This role sits between the execution layer of the Senior Associate and the strategic ownership layer of the Director. That means you are the person who keeps engagements moving with precision, ensures the quality of the databook and report sections before they reach the Director for final review, and develops the junior talent around you through real-time coaching on active deals.

If you have built strong fundamentals in buy-side and sell-side diligence, can run a QoE analysis with confidence, and want to grow your leadership skills inside a firm that rewards rigor and gives you the visibility to do it, this role is the right next step.

• Real deal exposure from day one — your analysis feeds directly into deliverables that PE sponsors use to make investment decisions on live transactions
• Private, independent firm — when the firm wins, you win
• Middle-market focus —complex enough to require genuine analytical craft, small enough that your contributions are visible and valued
• A team that develops people, deliberately — direct, substantive feedback that accelerates your technical and sector-specific growth
• A clear path forward — strong VP performance earns expanded scope and a defined trajectory toward Director-level responsibility
• Hybrid and remote flexibility — offices in Denver and Chicago with meaningful remote options

You are not here to wait for work to be assigned. You take a workstream, structure it, and deliver it. That kind of ownership — at the execution level — is what we are looking for.

Engagement Execution

You own the day-to-day execution of financial due diligence engagements. You do not just review; you are building and driving the analysis alongside your team.

• Lead and coordinate the execution of buy-side and sell-side financial due diligence engagements across a range of industries and transaction types, under the direction of a Director or Managing Director
• Run quality of earnings analyses, net working capital assessments, and debt and debt-like item reviews, with the technical fluency to make sound judgment calls on normalization items, accounting policy questions, and data gaps
• Manage the request list process: track outstanding items, coordinate with target company management and advisors, and keep the engagement moving toward delivery
• Structure and populate databooks and analytical work papers with a standard of accuracy and organization that holds up under Director review and client scrutiny
• Draft report sections covering key findings, quality of earnings adjustments, working capital analysis, and deal considerations, communicating conclusions clearly and without unnecessary hedging

Team Coordination and Development

You set the pace and standard for the junior team members on your engagements. That includes directing the work, reviewing the output, and providing feedback that actually develops people.

• Direct and review the work of Senior Associates and Associates, ensuring accuracy, analytical rigor, and clarity in all deliverables before they advance to Director review
• Delegate work streams appropriately and track progress across multiple team members and concurrent tasks on active deals
• Provide specific, real-time coaching to junior team members on technical concepts, workpaper standards, and professional judgment
• Model the work ethic, quality standard, and communication approach that defines the…
