Job description

You know how to challenge the earnings story, find the working capital pressure points and identify what could change the price of a deal. You’ve built that experience in TS. Now you’re ready to apply it on a bigger stage.

Genius People is recruiting for a Melbourne Transaction Services opportunity with a Big Four firm. The draw is bigger deals and the chance to take your existing financial due diligence experience further.

If you’re already in a Big Four team, or delivering strong TS work in a mid-tier or specialist firm, this is a conversation about the next stage of your career: the transactions you want to work on, the responsibility you’re ready for and the experience you want to build.

Why consider the move

Bigger deals, with a role in how they are assessed. You’ll lead financial due diligence workstreams on acquisitions and disposals for private equity investors and corporate buyers, turning analysis into advice that informs investment decisions.

The work spans businesses in retail, consumer products, manufacturing and industrial markets. At Manager level, you’ll take ownership of day‑to‑day delivery, review findings, manage client relationships and develop junior team members.

It’s an opportunity to strengthen your leadership and commercial judgement in a globally connected team, with structured learning and career development.

Bring hands‑on buy‑side or sell‑side FDD experience, with confidence analysing earnings quality, working capital, cash flow and debt‑related issues. We’re looking for people who can challenge the numbers, explain the implications and deliver clear reports that clients can act on.

Who we want to hear from

• Managers: bring established TS experience and explore your next move.
• Senior Managers: discuss whether the scope and level align with your next career step.
• Senior Analysts: bring substantive TS or FDD exposure and discuss your readiness for Manager‑level work.

Your current experience matters more than a title alone. We want to understand the engagements you’ve delivered, the analysis you’ve owned and the way you work with clients.

This search requires existing TS or FDD experience.

We’re also open to connecting with experienced TS and FDD professionals who would require visa sponsorship to work in Australia. Any sponsorship arrangements would need to be discussed and confirmed.
