Who we are:

Leo Berwick is an innovative mergers and acquisitions consulting firm. We are comprised of experienced advisors from global law and accounting firms that add value to transactions as trusted partners throughout the deal life cycle. At Leo Berwick, we hire the best and the brightest. Our teams deliver a dedicated and customized service to every client.

What we’re looking for:

Our team supports our clients to the impact of their mergers, acquisitions, carve-outs, or divestitures. We support value creation across the transaction timeline — from early strategy and risk assessment through integration strategy, due diligence, and post-merger integration & separation planning and execution. Our work is fast-paced, diverse, and high-impact.

As a Director, you will take a leadership role in client delivery, relationship management, and business development. You will oversee project teams, drive strategic insights, and serve as a trusted advisor to senior executives on some of the most transformative deals in North America’s energy and infrastructure sectors.

• Have a proven ability to break down complex data into actionable insights that drive value

• Thrive in a collaborative, entrepreneurial environment where your ideas drive client outcomes

• Enjoy collaborating in a close-knit, high-performing team while mentoring others and helping them grow

• Are comfortable working with ambiguity, owning deadlines, working at deal speed and figuring things out independently when needed

• You want to learn from the best, help grow the practice, and be rewarded for your efforts. Our cash compensation packages are significantly higher than other Big 4 accounting firms and consulting practices. Less overhead means lower rates for our clients and higher compensation for you.

• Guide clients through buy-side and sell-side transactions, including synergy quantification, carve-out planning and diligences, developing transition services agreements, integration strategies and running Integration & Separation Management Offices.
