When I met the hiring manager and asked him what the core responsibilities of the role were he replied with;

As a recap....
Ideally we are looking for a first time mover, trained at a top 10 practice, qualified looking to move into industry.
Although a large part of the role is getting hands on with Acquisitions Accounting, you don't need to have hands on experience but must have a understanding of "how this works" with a "wider pitcture" mind set, you'll need to be able to pivot mentally at times due to the speed and variety of work.
