What will you be doing?

As a Senior Associate, you will have the opportunity to work with our highly motivated and effective team of professionals on a variety of interesting projects across different industries, including, but not limited to, manufacturing, distribution, consumer, retail, waste management, business and industrial services as well as healthcare, software & technology, energy and financial services.

Responsibilities will include :

• Assessing market attractiveness by estimating its size and projected growth and reviewing the competitive & regulatory landscape to formulate strategy / deal rationale.
• Evaluating customer feedback obtained through surveys and interviews.
• Developing a client-ready written report and providing informed inputs on detailed financial models, based on all areas of study as well as discussions with management and past performance of the company.

• Effectively managing day-to-day client interaction and relationships and continuing to emphasize the capabilities of A&M to clients.
• Assisting senior team members in sales and business development efforts.
• Proactively counselling and mentoring junior members of the team.

We are a group of entrepreneurial accounting and strategy professionals who embody the A&M Core Values – integrity, quality, objectivity, fun, personal reward, and inclusive diversity while delivering a tailored and scalable approach to working with private equity, hedge fund, and corporate clients. We present you with opportunities, not a playbook, and we reward you based on performance, not your tenure.

How will you grow and be supported?

As a demonstration of A&M’s strong commitment to its people, we offer benefits to support your career, personal and professional developments. This includes performance-based career progression and promotion process, high-quality practice-wide training programs, a global mobility program, rotation opportunities in other practice areas, employee resource groups, and a health and wellness program.
