Your Typical Day

As the Accounting Manager - M&A, your day starts onsite at 300 Corporate Plaza in Islandia, aligning priorities and scanning deal calendars for time-sensitive items. During active transactions, you’ll spend focused blocks moving between data-room requests, calls with attorneys/bankers, and quick turnarounds for partner review—then resetting the plan as new information lands.

When deal flow is lighter, you’ll shift into internal firm operations support, tightening processes and keeping documentation deal-ready. Expect a steady cadence of stakeholder updates, careful follow-ups, and clear written summaries.

Schedule is Monday–Friday, 8:45 AM–5:30 PM, with extended hours during M&A and tax busy seasons, occasional weekends as deadlines demand, and occasional remote flexibility once fully integrated.
