- Own M&A deal execution: manage timelines, stakeholders, and deliverables end-to-end
- Coordinate due diligence and virtual data rooms; analyze financials, tax returns, and deal risks
- Apply GAAP and IRC structuring knowledge (asset vs. stock) including revenue recognition and QoE support
- Plan and drive post-merger integration (systems, reporting, payroll/workflows)
- Lead communication with partners and external advisors; develop staff and train others in QuickBooks

If you're ready to spearhead Accounting Manager - M&A work with accountability and momentum, apply today.
Your Typical Day
As the Accounting Manager - M&A, your day starts onsite at 300 Corporate Plaza in Islandia, aligning priorities and scanning deal calendars for time-sensitive items. During active transactions, you'll spend focused blocks moving between data-room requests, calls with attorneys/bankers, and quick turnarounds for partner review-then resetting the plan as new information lands.
When deal flow is lighter, you'll shift into internal firm operations support, tightening processes and keeping documentation deal-ready. Expect a steady cadence of stakeholder updates, careful follow-ups, and clear written summaries.
Schedule is Monday-Friday, 8:45 AM-5:30 PM, with extended hours during M&A and tax busy seasons, occasional weekends as deadlines demand, and occasional remote flexibility once fully integrated.
