Our client is a boutique advisory practice focused on Corporate and Transaction Advisory work, with particular strength in buy-side M&A engagements for private equity-backed and growth-stage businesses. This is a firm where people are not buried in bureaucracy or bench work. Employees are handed real client relationships and genuine responsibility early on, working hands‑on with complex deals rather than sitting on the sidelines of a support function.
What the Job Involves
The firm is hiring an AVP, Tax Advisory to help build out its M&A tax offering. This position is centered on due diligence, deal structuring, and broader advisory support across buy‑side and sell‑side transactions for PE‑backed and growth‑stage clients.
Core Duties
- Owning tax due diligence workstreams across live M&A deals
- Structuring transactions in a tax‑efficient manner for clients
- Serving as a direct point of contact for clients and deal teams
- Collaborating with the wider Transaction Advisory group on active deals
- Reviewing client tax filings as part of a broader scope of work
What's Required
- 4 to 7 years of tax experience, with a preference for an M&A/transaction background
- Currently operating at Manager level, or a Senior on the cusp of promotion
- Someone energized by a fast‑moving, entrepreneurial setting who doesn't need heavy hand‑holding
- CPA strongly preferred given the tax‑return review component of the role; JD holders are also encouraged to apply
Why Consider This Role
- A far more transaction-heavy mandate than is typical at a larger firm, with real ownership attached
- Direct client contact and deal leadership, exposing candidates to sophisticated transaction work much sooner in their careers
- A flat, lean team structure that translates into strong visibility with senior leadership and faster career progression
- Hybrid setup - two days per week in the NYC office - with meaningful flexibility built in
