Transaction services manager/senior manager

What is a transaction services manager/senior manager and what do they do?

Transaction services (TS) teams support clients looking to buy a business, sell all or part of their business, merge with another business or list on stock exchanges through initial public offerings (IPOs). TS professionals perform a number of advisory roles throughout the deals process but are perhaps best known for providing due diligence services.

TS managers are responsible for ensuring that teams work in a coherent and timely manner, responding to issues as they arise and adapting work plans as required. They have a key role as a point of contact between the client and the firm, as they will be visible and a figure of authority and knowledge at the client site.

Capabilities

While the accountancy profession offers diverse career options and paths, the core capabilities required to perform at the highest standards remain the same - irrespective of skill level or job role.
