At RSM, our purpose is to instill confidence in a world of change for both our clients and our people.
RSM Australia supports a people-centric and collaborative culture where we are committed to empowering and developing you. As a leading professional services firm, we connect you to an extensive network of global resources and invest in your future. We value the meaningful work that you do and encourage you to be a part of the change.
Our value proposition is our commitment to you; it highlights the experiences, benefits, and value that you can expect as part of RSM. This is underpinned by our three values – integrity in everything that we do, supporting clients everywhere, and developing and valuing everyone.
Who we are:
RSM Australia is a member of RSM, the world’s 6th largest network of audit, tax and consulting firms. We are an award-winning professional services firm with over 100 years experience supporting Australian businesses. We believe in putting people first and we are proud to have developed a work culture that fosters growth, collaboration and success.
About the role:
Are you commercially minded, detail oriented, and excited by transactions that help businesses grow, transform, or realise value? Our Corporate Finance team is expanding, and we are looking for a motivated Senior Analyst to contribute to a wide range of M&A engagements across diverse industries.
This role offers hands on exposure to live transactions, the opportunity to build compelling deal materials, and the chance to work closely with experienced M&A practitioners in a supportive and collaborative environment.
As part of our M&A team, you will support clients and senior team members throughout the transaction lifecycle. You will be responsible for:
- Databook preparation: Aggregating, validating, and analysing financial, operational, and commercial data to support due diligence processes.
- Information Memorandum (IM) development: Crafting clear, compelling IMs that communicate a company’s strategic position, operations, financial performance, and value proposition.
- Commercial and operational analysis: Assessing business models, key value drivers, customer metrics, market dynamics, and potential risks and opportunities.
- Preparation of valuation support materials: Conducting industry mapping, benchmarking, buyer/seller identification, precedent transaction research, and valuation relevant market analysis. Financial modelling and DCF analysis skills are desirable but not essential.
- Business development initiatives: Supporting pitch preparation, proposals, sector research, and thought leadership to help deepen client relationships and win new mandates.
This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, deal-focused environment and enjoys synthesising financial and commercial insights into high quality deliverables.
About you:
You bring strong analytical capability, commercial curiosity, and the ability to communicate insights clearly with both internal and external stakeholders.
Requirements
- 1-3 years’ experience in M&A, corporate finance, transaction services, equity research, consulting, or a similar analytical role is desirable. Qualified audit candidates will also be considered.
- Strong financial analysis capability, including comfort working with company financials, KPIs, and operational datasets.
- Exceptional written communication skills, with demonstrated ability to prepare structured documents and presentations.
- High attention to detail and a commitment to accuracy in deliverables.
- Ability to work both autonomously and collaboratively within deal teams.
- Proactive, hands-on approach with a willingness to take ownership of tasks and adapt to changing priorities.
Education
- Degree in Business/ Commerce, Accounting, Finance, Economics, or a related discipline.
- Completion of a professional qualification (CA, CFA or equivalent).
