Job Description & How to Apply Below
As a senior leader in our Accounting Advisory practice, you will partner with clients navigating their most complex and consequential financial events — M&A transactions, accounting transformations, leadership transitions, and technical accounting challenges. You’ll bring both strategic insight and hands-on expertise, guiding management teams through high-stakes decisions while building a practice that delivers measurable impact.
Your role .
Your work will include, but not be limited to:
Transaction & Strategic Advisory Lead transaction accounting across mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, carve-outs, and management buyouts, providing clients with clear, decision-ready analysis at every stage of the deal lifecycle
Prepare and review sophisticated financial analyses to help clients evaluate potential acquisitions, financing arrangements, and other significant strategic initiatives
Develop and challenge financial forecasts, translating operational realities into forward-looking financial models that inform capital allocation and growth decisions
Assess quality of earnings to inform the accounting for the Opening Balance Sheet (OBS) and support accurate, decision-useful financial reporting
Evaluate the sustainability of financial performance through rigorous analysis of financial statements and underlying business drivers
Accounting Transformation & Operations Oversee accounting transformation engagements that evaluate people, process, and technology — including transitions in basis of reporting (e.g., cash to US GAAP), reporting efficiency improvements, risk mitigation, and redesign of departmental structure, roles, and staffing
Remediate financial information that has been under-resourced or under-supported, standing up sustainable processes, policies, and procedures that produce reliable financial reporting going forward
Serve in interim finance and accounting leadership roles for clients navigating planned or unplanned departures within their finance function
Technical Accounting Leadership Direct the implementation of complex accounting standards, for example revenue recognition (ASC 606), lease accounting (ASC 842), business combinations (ASC 805), complex debt and equity instruments (ASC 470, ASC 480, and ASC 815), and stock-based compensation (ASC 718)
Address unique or emerging accounting and reporting matters where clients lack the internal expertise, bandwidth, or perspective to resolve independently
Client Engagement Participate in executive-level client meetings and on-site visits, engaging directly with C-suite leadership to gather insights, assess business dynamics, and inform financial analysis
Practice Leadership & Development Beyond client delivery, you will play a central role in growing and running the practice:
Business development — cultivate internal and external networks to identify current opportunities and build a durable pipeline of future work
Team leadership — provide coaching, engagement scheduling, and overall guidance to practice team members, developing the next generation of talent
Pursuit support — contribute to the preparation of proposals, budgets, and engagement letters
Project management — prioritize competing engagements against deadlines, manage capacity effectively, and deliver high-quality work that drives positive economic outcomes
Financial management — oversee client invoicing, collections, and overall account stewardship
