What You'll Do
Are you a problem solver who loves working with numbers and uncovering insights? Do you want to make a real impact in a fast-paced, dynamic environment? Join our Practice Finance Team as a Senior Revenue Management Analyst for the M&A practice, where you'll work closely with finance and senior leaders to analyze trends, optimize operations, and drive business success.
Specifically, this role is responsible for consolidated and client-specific reporting, with a focus towards driving actionable insights to improve performance.

This role blends finance, operations, and data analysis-you'll be digging into numbers, identifying patterns, and helping our team make smarter decisions. If you're excited about storytelling through data and want to grow in a collaborative and supportive team, this is the perfect opportunity for you!
• Turn data into insights - Analyze financial trends and performance metrics to highlight risks, opportunities, and key takeaways with a focus on our portfolio of Unrealized Assets.

• Financial reporting - Track accounts receivable, unbilled time, and other revenue-related metrics to ensure smooth financial operations.
• Be a finance representative - Support partners with revenue-related questions and help keep billing on track.
• Streamline processes - Find ways to improve efficiency, implement best practices, and leverage technology to optimize revenue management.
• Collaborate & grow - Work closely with partners, attorneys, and finance teams to support broader initiatives and make an impact.

• 4+ years of experience in finance or accounting.
