• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (Transaction Advisory, Audit, Tax, and other Advisory practices) to deliver integrated deal support and insights.
  
• Assist in evaluating financial forecasts, business plans, and key value drivers to assess reasonableness and identify upside/downside risks.
