  • Review net debt, working capital and cash conversion for target companies.
  • Draft sections of due diligence reports and red-flag memos under tight deadlines.

  • Support valuation and deal modeling work with the wider Financial Advisory team.

What we’re looking for

  • 2–4 years in transaction services, audit or corporate finance.
  • CPA, CFA Level II or an equivalent qualification, completed or in progress.
