William Buck is one of Australia's leading accounting and advisory firms, partnering with privately owned businesses, entrepreneurs, family offices, corporate clients and private equity investors to help them navigate growth, strategic change and complex transactions.

What your day might look like:

Delivering corporate finance engagements including M&A advisory, business valuations, financial due diligence and strategic advisory assignments

Producing client-ready deliverables including reports, presentations, board papers and transaction documentation

Building relationships with clients, management teams and external advisers while contributing to client discussions and presentations

Managing engagement workstreams to ensure projects are delivered accurately, efficiently and to a high professional standard

Supporting team development by coaching junior team members and contributing to the enhancement of methodologies, templates and best practices
