What are some things you guys wish you knew before you started your NetSuite implementation?

I’m at a small company that’s sort of becoming medium sized, and a new exec pushing to quickly implement NetSuite and I just want to make sure we’re not getting in over our heads, he’s trying to get this done within two months

We currently use Salesforce, quick books, and excel, we’ll be consolidating a lot of accounting and finance stuff into netsuite and integrating it with Salesforce

Give me your best Audible book you have recently listened to? Finance, Sales or non-fiction

My accounting edge finance is not compatible with the new Mac OS. I do not need the $15/month subscription they offering as an upgrade since I’m a lone freelancer. I’ve always kept my own books and did my own taxes. Anyone else out there with a basic bookkeeping program recommendation for Mac would be appreciated.

Upcoming interview with large tech company for biz ops go-to-market role. Any book recommendations to learn about go-to-market / sales op strategies for tech?

Transitioning from line of business familiarity (understanding financial statements) to... real(?) Finance (bonds and cap markets and other debt sales) any advice on books or resources to learn really from step 0?

Any particular segment of sales good for ex-finance? Currently 3 years in at fortune 100 bank on business development side (on commercial loan originations team but no commission/targets at the associate level, basically do credit analysis and build pitch books for the producers) This role has been great as I have gotten both analytical experience and tasted sales experience (I say taste bc I’m not the producer) but would potentially like to transition to a sales role that is less analytical

Any book recommendations on Clinical Trial Agreements?

I’m moving from implementation consulting - where details are super important - to a strategy role, working with C suite executives. Got the feedback that I need to think and work less detailed and way more high level/abstract. Any book recommendations to train this skill or get insights how to best think on an abstract level?

Any book recommendations? Here are a couple that I've recently recommended:1) Freakonomics2) Super Freakonomics3) The Big Short4) Never Eat Alone. Please add as you see fit!

What are your book recommendations?

Any great personal finance/investment books to read? Or even YouTubers/Podcasters

ACCA and CPA qualifications. How useful are they in the line of consulting. I work in the M&A space focusing on FDD. Happy to have a chat to see what qualifications if any are actually useful in our line of work.

hi all, currently have two offers:

1: EY - FDD, home city, very good $$ for FDD

2: PwC - post-merger integration, DDV team (essentially M&A Consulting) - bigger city, always been keen to move

Coming as a Senior in Audit, with recent FDD exposure (2 deals, obviously not much). I was looking for something more than just number crunching, wanting a mix of quant / quali / strategic work. M&A Advisory or a Corp Strategy role is where I'm looking to end up long term.

Thanks in advance!

EY -TAS , S&O . We are hiring. If interested, reach out...

If I want to transition into M&A from audit, what are some basic things I should consider?

I've been tasked with developing an M&A Integration playbook from scratch (I'm in industry and don't have the library of materials/templates you consultants have). Anyone know where to find a decent example, or resources online to help me build one? We will be bringing in consultants eventually to help review/validate what we put together. TIA!

Hi 🐟,
My team is growing (Human Capital M&A space)...
- senior director level M&A lead role, responsible for people related M&A considerations from due diligence through integration
- Sr. Mgr level People and Culture team member focused on leadership, org readiness, and EE experience for acquired entities
- Analyst for our HC M&A team supporting a variety of activities across the M&A life cycle.
DM me if interested. Great oppty to join a growing team in a highly acquisitive organization.

Hey all, it’s my first time managing an IMO, so I am heading up standing the office up, getting everyone on board, coming up with the day 0, 1, 100 plan, etc. Any advice from someone who does this stuff day in and out? Parthenon, DDV, etc.

Do you think M&A playbooks are needed for teams with a limited M&A capability?

What’s your favorite part of the M&A life cycle to work on and why? What about least favorite?

Any McK fuel people in here? Kinda curious about this segment in reference to deal structure. Is it all commercial debt?

How long does it takes for you to feel confident on what you are doing at FDD? Essentially I am not trying to stay at FDD forever but want to make sure that I learn all the necessary skills before I go.

Align to non-M&A offering but do a lot of work in the space (DD, integrations). B4 recruiter reached out and wants me to provide resume@for review with hiring partner. Does it work if I provide a bio with summary of M&A projects (client names removed) instead of a traditional resume? Also plan to list education and previous roles.

What are the best exit opportunities after working in ODD, CDD, valuations for a few years? IB? PE possible?

Job Titles-Levels: what are typical career levels within M&A practices at your respective companies? For example, EY-Parthenon recently rebranded the following levels. Curious if this is industry norm. Manager became “Director” and Senior Manager became “Senior Director”

Any insight into TCS M&A group? They reached out offering $200k for an M&A specialist role and would be a significant jump from my current salary. Unsure what they do in M&A space since they focus largely on delivery vs strategy

Does experience in financial due diligence with Big4 ensure good future opportunities ? Also how good is it for an MBA finance considering the majority of crowd I have found being CA on LinkedIn..

TIA

Is deal flow starting to pick back up? Just started as an FDD analyst and would love to keep my job
