Career Insights: Transaction Advisory Services
Overview
In today’s complex economic and financial world, successful and timely completion of a transaction—whether in an acquisition, a merger, divesture, carve-out, or joint venture—is equally complex and challenging. Transaction advisory services (TAS) is a fast-growing and exciting segment of consulting services that helps companies through this process. Working with companies from the early stages of a deal lifecycle, TAS finds, evaluates, and closes a transaction as well as manages its financial and operational impact after closing. TAS offers a multifaceted and dynamic career in the merger and acquisition (M&A) space. TAS professionals not only help their clients meet their growth strategy and financial goals but also are the custodians of acceptable accounting practices, financial transparency, and regulatory principles.
