Associate

The Associate gives a new engagement its footing. In this role, you’ll make sure every document we ask a client for actually comes in, every number is entered correctly, and nothing goes overlooked. It’s detail-heavy work, and it matters: a clean, accurate data picture early in an engagement keeps everything downstream - financial models, technical research, the client presentation - moving on schedule. Your day-to-day work is directed by the Analyst. The Relationship Manager has the final call when priorities conflict, though that’s the exception rather than the norm. This is also where your career at ACG begins - with real exposure across the engagement and a clear path to grow into the Analyst seat. What Success Looks Like Nothing falls through the cracks. Every document you’re tracking gets chased down and filed, every number you enter is accurate, and the Analyst can build on your work without needing to double-check it. Document Intake & Follow-Through Document Request List enter the document request list into the client portal accurately and completely. Chase to Close (Supporting Documents) chase outstanding supporting documents needed for the engagement bank statements, tax returns, trust and entity documents, investment and insurance statements track every request to close, and keep an honest, current status the team can rely on. AIAssisted Document Review use ACG’s AI tools to help prescreen, extract, and summarize incoming documents, flagging anything that needs a closer look so nothing important gets missed. Data & Modeling Systems of Record & Data Accuracy enter and maintain client data in the balance sheet, eMoney, AOS, and other systems of record, keeping it current and accurate throughout the engagement; flag anything that looks off before it becomes a problem downstream. StatusQuo Model build the firm’s standard statusquo cash flow model and balance sheet using our templates. Deliverable & Analysis Support Financial Modeling Support assist with models and analyses in Excel, HTML, or tools like Manus that quantify scenarios, project cash flows, and show the impact of proposed strategies. Client Presentations help build clear, clientready PowerPoint slides as directed by the Analyst. Ad Hoc Analysis pitch in on clientdriven work tax projections, estate/succession support, investment analysis as needed, with the same care and accuracy expected on everything you touch, from a quick data entry to a clientready deck. Documentation & Meeting Support Meeting Notes of Record attend the prekickoff meeting and kickoff call; own the notes for these sessions, using the recorded transcript as backup to doublecheck accuracy; share notes out and add action items to AOS.
