Responsibilities

Mercor expands via strategic acquisitions, where critical financial risks surface within due diligence findings, transaction structures, and post-closing operational timelines. As Strategic Transactions Lead, you will spearhead the accounting workstream across every transaction, managing processes from post-LOI confirmatory diligence through the initial post-close annual audit.
Serving as the Controller team's representative on deal execution pods, you will partner closely with Corporate Finance, Legal, Business Operations, and Integration leads to ensure seamless financial consolidation. This key foundational role requires an operational builder who will construct robust diligence frameworks, establish key performance metrics, and scale M&A infrastructure alongside rapid acquisition velocity.
Confirmatory Diligence
Direct post-LOI accounting due diligence, evaluating historical quality of earnings, revenue recognition policies, cap table structures, tax liabilities, and vendor obligations.
Construct scalable diligence playbooks tailored across diverse transaction types, including acquihires, IP assets, and complex business combinations.
Deliver comprehensive accounting readiness evaluations prior to execution, highlighting material risks and structuring implications.
Analyze definitive transaction documentation and settlement flows, advising leadership on earnouts, working capital adjustments, escrow holdbacks, and equity rollovers.
Oversee third-party valuation specialists on purchase price allocations, intangible asset valuations, and contingent consideration models.
Evaluate financial statement impacts for proposed deal mechanics and talent retention structures to guide executive decision-making.
Coordinate Day 1 close readiness across financial systems, payroll platforms, banking structures, and internal governance controls.
Post-Merger Integration
Lead the end-to-end accounting integration roadmap, including opening balance sheets, general ledger mappings, ERP migrations, policy alignment, and intercompany settlements.
