Description

Ernst & Young TAS is growing and is looking for a senior consultant transaction support.

Quantifying tax and other non compliance exposures
Coordinating with other advisors/investors (e.g. legal, lenders)
Supporting the buyer's negotiating position and purchase price adjustments.
Providing input to purchase and debt agreements and other related documents.
Analyzing working capital requirements and seasonality relative to proposed target levels.
