Corporate Development Associate

Albers Aerospace • McKinney, TX

6h • Onsite

About The Position

Albers is seeking a dedicated financial modeler on the COO's team, the person who turns messy, fast-moving deal and operating data into a number leadership can act on. You will own integrated models, support live M&A and divestitures end to end, and carry the financial workstream. One week you are reconstructing a receivables position for internal decision-making, the next you are building a three-year forecast for a prospective equity partner on a tight timeline. The variety is the job. This is a high-exposure seat. You will work directly with the COO and SVP of M&A Integration, alongside the CFO's team and the deal principals, and you will see how an acquisitive defense platform actually runs underneath the hood.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, Business, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
• 3–5 years of experience in investment banking, private equity, transaction advisory, corporate development, strategic finance, or FP&A.
• Strong financial modeling skills, including integrated three-statement models, forecasting, valuation, and scenario analysis.
• Solid understanding of financial statements, cash flow, working capital, and key business drivers.
• Ability to analyze complex financial data, identify issues, and provide actionable recommendations.
• Proven ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and organizational skills with exceptional attention to detail.
• Ability to work independently and collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams and senior leadership.
• Interest in understanding business operations, contracts, programs, and manufacturing environments beyond the financials.
• Must be a U.S. Person (U.S. Citizen or Lawful Permanent Resident) in compliance with ITAR requirements.
• Ability to work onsite in McKinney, Texas.

Nice To Haves

• Experience supporting mergers and acquisitions, corporate development, financial due diligence, integration activities, or divestitures.
• Experience within aerospace, defense, government contracting, or complex manufacturing environments.
• Familiarity with government contract accounting, including cost-plus, time-and-materials (T&M), fixed-price contracts, indirect rates, and percentage-of-completion accounting.
• MBA, CFA, CPA, or other advanced business or finance credentials.
• Eligibility to obtain and maintain a U.S. security clearance.

Responsibilities

• Build and own integrated financial models from the ground up: three-statement models, P&L forecasts, contract and backlog waterfalls, and program-level builds across our business verticals.
• Tie forecasts to signed backlog, bookings, and the annual operating plan, and keep the model honest when source systems disagree.
• Support M&A from diligence through close: build and pressure-test target models, valuation and multiple analysis, returns work, and quality-of-earnings reading.
• Run post-close integration on the numbers: integration checklists, carve-out and divestiture support, and folding acquired financials into Albers reporting.
• Produce investor and lender deliverables on tight timelines and be ready to defend every assumption.
• Reconstruct and reconcile financial positions under deadline (receivables and payables, working capital, purchase-price allocations) and catch the gaps and errors others miss.
• Stand up repeatable model and diligence packages so the next deal starts from a system, not a blank page.
• Due diligence, integration work managing several other inter-departmental teammates.
