The Austin office of Benchmark International is now looking business professionals to fill entry-level roles on its sell-side mergers and acquisitions teams. Our analysts begin learning negotiation skills, valuation metrics, and the entire M&A process from their first day on the job. They engage clients and potential acquirers on a daily basis working to generate buyer interest in our clients, negotiate the terms of non-disclosure agreements, and begin the response to the buyer’s due diligence investigation into their team’s portfolio of businesses for sale.

Benchmark International offers an accountant, with two to four years of experience in financial analysis of multiple businesses or business lines, the opportunity to branch out into the fields of finance, and mergers and acquisitions, while continuing to grow in the field of accounting. This team serves two primary functions with regard to each engagement. First, they prepare the marketing strategy and materials for the client. Second, once the client goes live on the market, they provide technical expertise to the sales team on matters such as responding to potential acquirers’ accounting questions, negotiating working capital thresholds, and defending add backs to EBITDA.
