A&M's Transaction Advisory Group (TAG) has an exciting opportunity to join a growing team in Toronto. TAG is a subsidiary of A&M, an established leader in providing global leadership and advisory services to a variety of diverse industries. A&M TAG is seeking a Senior Associate to bring their energy, passion, and expertise to help our clients get the answers they need to get the deal done.

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.
