Manager, Deal Advisory – Top 10 Firm (open to auditors!)

​​​​​​Have you been thinking about getting closer to transactions while still building a long-term career on a strong platform? This opportunity is with a nationally recognized professional services firm that works with middle-market and private equity-backed clients across a wide range of industries.

The team is seeking a Manager-level professional to support continued growth in its Deal Advisory practice, but remains open to top-performing Senior-level candidates who are ready to take the next step. While prior transaction advisory experience is valued, high-caliber auditors who want to transition into M&A and deal work are strongly encouraged to apply. In fact, many of the most successful professionals in this group have come directly from audit backgrounds.

Professionals in this role gain hands-on exposure to buy-side and sell-side transactions, direct client interaction, and the opportunity to develop into long-term deal leaders within a collaborative, fast-growing advisory group.

• Transaction Advisory / Deal Advisory professionals ready to step into a Manager role with greater ownership and visibility
• Top-performing Audit Seniors or Supervisors looking to make a structured transition into M&A and transaction work
• Audit Managers seeking a move away from compliance-heavy work into a more advisory and deal-oriented career path

The team prioritizes analytical strength, leadership ability, and long-term potential over rigid background requirements.

• Hybrid work schedule with a strong emphasis on work-life balance
