Our client, a well-established professional 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.

n

What you'll do

n

n
- Work directly on buy-side and sell-side transaction engagements, taking large, messy, often invoice-level datasets and turning them into deal-relevant insight
n
- 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
n
- 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
n
- Independently work out which parts of a large, unfamiliar dataset actually matter to the deal question at hand, rather than waiting to be told
n
- Build workflows in Alteryx and dashboards in Power BI that support both internal analysis and client-facing output
n
- Review and mentor junior analysts' work, acting as a technical second-in-command as the team grows
n




- Operate across multiple rapid-moving engagements at once, typically two to four weeks per project
n

n

What you'll bring

n

n
- CA qualification (complete
n
- 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
n
- Strong, demonstrable Alteryx and Power BI skills, able to both build and troubleshoot workflows and dashboards independently
n
- A track record of reconciling detailed transactional data against financial statements and translating it into a commercial narrative
n
- Comfort working with incomplete or messy data and proposing your own approach rather than needing detailed direction
n
- Experience reviewing or mentoring junior team members
n
- Resilience for a deadline-driven, project-based environment with periods of high intensity around deal timelines
n

n

Why join

n

n
- 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
n
- Direct exposure to live deal work rather than generic reporting, alongside the firm's broader advisory and transaction diligence teams
n
- A more sustainable working rhythm than typical Big 4 environments, with informal hybrid working
