Vice President, Transaction Advisory Services (Financial Due Diligence)

You are the engine of execution on active deals: deep enough in the work to catch what matters, and senior enough to direct the team, shape the output, and serve as a credible point of contact for clients. This role sits between the execution layer of the Senior Associate and the strategic ownership layer of the Director, ensuring engagements move with precision, the quality of databooks and reports is upheld, and junior talent is developed through real-time coaching on active deals.

Why Intrinsic

• Real deal exposure from day one — your analysis feeds directly into deliverables that PE sponsors use to make investment decisions on live transactions
• Private, independent firm — when the firm wins, you win
• Middle-market focus — complex enough to require genuine analytical craft, small enough that your contributions are visible and valued
• A team that develops people, deliberately — direct, substantive feedback that accelerates your technical and sector-specific growth
• A clear path forward — strong VP performance earns expanded scope and a defined trajectory toward Director-level responsibility
• Hybrid and remote flexibility — offices in Denver and Chicago with meaningful remote options

Responsibilities

Engagement Execution

• Own the day-to-day execution of financial due diligence engagements, building and driving the analysis alongside your team
• Lead and coordinate buy-side and sell-side financial due diligence engagements across a range of industries and transaction types, under the direction of a Director or Managing Director
• Run quality of earnings analyses, net working capital assessments, and debt and debt-like item reviews, with the technical fluency to make sound judgment calls on normalization items, accounting policy questions, and data gaps
• Manage the request list process: track outstanding items, coordinate with target company management and advisors, and keep the engagement moving toward delivery
• Structure and populate databooks and analytical workpapers with a standard of accuracy and organization that holds up under Director review and client scrutiny
• Draft report sections covering key findings, quality of earnings adjustments, working capital analysis, and deal considerations, communicating conclusions clearly and without unnecessary hedging

Team Coordination and Development

• Direct and review the work of Senior Associates and Associates, ensuring accuracy, analytical rigor, and clarity in all deliverables before they advance to Director review
• Delegate workstreams appropriately and track progress across multiple team members and concurrent tasks on active deals
• Provide specific, real-time coaching to junior team members on technical concepts, workpaper standards, and professional judgment
• Model the work ethic, quality standard, and communication approach that defines the Intrinsic TAS practice

Client and Stakeholder Communication

• Serve as a day-to-day point of contact for client deal teams on active engagements, handling status updates, clarification requests, and routine communication with professionalism and precision
• Lead and participate in management interviews and diligence calls with target company finance teams, applying judgment about what questions to ask and what follow-ups to pursue
• Coordinate across internal workstreams and with third-party advisors including legal, tax, and other diligence specialists as needed

Requirements

• 5+ years of progressive experience in financial due diligence at a Big 4 TAS or Deals practice, a national advisory firm, or a comparable transaction environment
• Proven ability to lead QoE analyses and full-scope diligence workstreams with meaningful autonomy
• Solid command of US GAAP as applied in transaction contexts: EBITDA normalization, working capital mechanics, debt-like structuring, and the accounting judgments that arise in middle-market deals
• Exposure to a range of industries through buy-side and sell-side diligence; comfortable picking up a new sector quickly and identifying relevant drivers and risks
• Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance; CPA required (active or eligible)
• Strong Excel skills and comfort handling large, complex datasets on deal timelines

Qualifications

• Take ownership of your workstreams: track what is open, anticipate what is next, and communicate clearly when circumstances shift
• Hold yourself to a high standard of self-review: your work is organized and accurate before it goes to the Director, not after
• Translate numbers into narrative: explain what a QoE adjustment means for the deal, not just calculate it
• Develop the people around you: feedback from you is direct, specific, and aimed at making the team better
• Stay composed under deal pressure: compressed timelines and incomplete data sharpen your focus rather than compromise your judgment
