Experience supporting M&A transactions - due diligence, purchase accounting, integration

Excellent written and verbal communication; able to synthesize complex issues for non-accounting audiences

Strong project management skills with the ability to manage multiple concurrent workstreams in a fast-paced environment

SaaS, marketplace, or PE-backed company experience is a plus
