Global Transaction Advisory Group
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. We provide private equity and corporate clients with buy- and sell-side commercial due diligence (CDD). CDD professionals actively engage in developing well-constructed hypotheses, completing detailed research and analysis, and conducting comprehensive discussions with industry experts, along with management and their advisors.
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. You will provide our clients with an integrated due diligence approach that goes beyond traditional CDD output and focus on key value drivers for sponsors and lenders. Our integrated due diligence approach combines our deep operational, functional and industry expertise with high-quality insights that drive value throughout the investment lifecycle.
Responsibilities will include:

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.
