Data Analyst - Deals

$*******k
Our client, a well-established qualified services and advisory firm, is scaling a specialist deal analytics capability and is looking for an experienced analyst to become the technical right hand to the practice lead.
This is a hands-on role at the intersection of transaction advisory and data analytics, working on live M&A; engagements rather than internal reporting.
What you'll do
Work directly on buy-side and sell-side transaction engagements, taking large, messy, often invoice-level datasets and turning them into deal-relevant insight
Reconcile granular transactional data back to financial statements, clean and map inconsistent customer, product and vendor data, and build the analysis from the ground up
Calculate and interpret deal-critical metrics depending on sector, for example recurring revenue, churn, customer acquisition cost and lifetime value for technology targets, or price, volume and SKU-level breakdowns for retail and consumer targets
Independently work out which parts of a large, unfamiliar dataset actually matter to the deal question at hand, rather than waiting to be told
Build workflows in Alteryx and dashboards in Power BI that support both internal analysis and client-facing output
Review and mentor junior analysts' work, acting as a technical second-in-command as the team grows




Operate across multiple fast-moving engagements at once, typically two to four weeks per project
What you'll bring
CA qualification (complete
Genuine, hands-on experience in a deal or transaction analytics environment, ideally from a Big 4 or equivalent boutique advisory firm, not purely corporate finance, modelling or dashboard/reporting work
Strong, demonstrable Alteryx and Power BI skills, able to both build and troubleshoot workflows and dashboards independently
A track record of reconciling detailed transactional data against financial statements and translating it into a commercial narrative
Comfort working with incomplete or messy data and proposing your own approach rather than needing detailed direction
Experience reviewing or mentoring junior team members
Resilience for a deadline-driven, project-based environment with periods of high intensity around deal timelines
Why join
A genuine opportunity to help shape and grow a newly established analytics capability from an early stage, with a clear path toward a management remit
Direct exposure to live deal work rather than generic reporting, alongside the firm's broader advisory and transaction diligence teams
A more sustainable working rhythm than typical Big 4 environments, with informal hybrid working
