JOB DESCRIPTION

We’re looking for a driven, high-energy, team-first finance professional to join us as a Corporate Finance Associate. This role will be instrumental in driving due diligence, supporting new operating company onboarding, contributing to divestitures, and producing actionable financial analysis to inform strategic decision-making across ASG.

The Corporate Finance Associate will play a key role across the full deal lifecycle - from buy-side diligence through onboarding and, ultimately, exit. This individual will support concurrent deal workstreams (financial, tax, insurance, and related areas), coordinate closely with internal and external stakeholders, and ensure that findings are translated into clear insights and smooth handoffs to operating teams.

The ideal candidate has a strong foundation in financial due diligence and GAAP accounting, thrives in a fast-paced environment, and can context switch across multiple engagements while maintaining high attention to detail and strong communication. This is an exempt position reporting to the Director of Corporate Finance. The role is based in the San Francisco Bay Area, CA, with remote candidates considered; West Coast applicants are preferred.

You’re Excited About This Opportunity Because You Will:

• Drive day-to-day execution of financial, tax, insurance, and related diligence workstreams across multiple live transactions
• Build and/or analyze core financial diligence components including Quality of Earnings, Net Working Capital, Indebtedness, MRR, and run-rate performance
• Distill complex target company data into key risks and actionable insights for internal stakeholders
• Partner cross-functionally with founders, legal, tax, HR, tech teams, bankers, and internal leadership throughout the deal lifecycle
• Support purchase agreement mechanics including working capital, post-close adjustments, and earnouts
• Prepare and organize diligence findings to enable seamless onboarding of newly acquired operating companies
• Contribute to sell-side processes including dataroom preparation and responses to buyside diligence requests
• Execute financial analyses that inform capital allocation, valuation, and broader strategic decision-making across ASG
• Analyze key SaaS operating metrics including revenue and customer retention, Rule of 40, and other relevant key performance indicators (KPIs)
• Manage multiple concurrent engagements in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment

We’re Excited About You Because:

• You have 2-4+ years of experience in financial due diligence, transaction advisory, investment banking, private equity, consulting, or public accounting
• You have a B.A. / B.S. in Accounting, Finance, Economics, or another quantitative field
• You understand how to build and interpret Quality of Earnings, Net Working Capital, Indebtedness, MRR, and run-rate analyses
• You have a strong grasp of GAAP accounting principles and financial statement mechanics, including cash-to-accrual conversion
• You are highly proficient in Excel and comfortable synthesizing large datasets into clear conclusions
• You can manage multiple deals or projects simultaneously while maintaining strong attention to detail
• You communicate clearly and confidently with executives, founders, and external advisors
• You exercise sound judgment and operate with a sense of urgency in deadline-driven environments
• You are humble, coachable, self-aware, and embrace feedback as part of continuous growth
• CPA is preferred but not required
