You will collaborate with the COO, SVP of M&A Integration, CFO team, and deal principals, gaining exposure to an acquisitive defense platform. Onsite work in McKinney, TX is required.

Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, Business, or related field or equivalent experience.
3–5 years of experience in investment banking, private equity, transaction advisory, corporate development, strategic finance, or FP&A.

Responsibilities

Build and own integrated financial models from the ground up: three-statement models, P&L forecasts, contract and backlog waterfalls, and program-level builds across our business verticals.
Tie forecasts to signed backlog, bookings, and the annual operating plan, and keep the model honest when source systems disagree.
Support M&A from diligence through close: build and pressure-test target models, valuation and multiple analysis, returns work, and quality-of-earnings reading.
Run post-close integration on the numbers: integration checklists, carve-out and divestiture support, and folding acquired financials into Albers reporting.
Produce investor and lender deliverables on tight timelines and be ready to defend every assumption.
Reconstruct and reconcile financial positions under deadline (receivables and payables, working capital, purchase-price allocations) and catch the gaps and errors others miss.
Stand up repeatable model and diligence packages so the next deal starts from a system, not a blank page.

Job description

Albers is seeking a dedicated financial modeler on the COO's team, the person who turns messy, fast-moving deal and operating data into a number leadership can act on. You will own integrated models, support live M&A and divestitures end to end, and carry the financial workstream. One week you are reconstructing a receivables position for internal decision-making, the next you are building a three-year forecast for a prospective equity partner on a tight timeline. The variety is the job.

This is a high-exposure seat. You will work directly with the COO and SVP of M&A Integration, alongside the CFO's team and the deal principals, and you will see how an acquisitive defense platform actually runs underneath the hood.
