About Us:
At Adamy Valuation, we solve meaningful financial problems. We are a trusted partner to companies and their advisors nationwide, providing valuation-based solutions for business growth and transitions. Our expertise supports key initiatives such as succession planning, ESOPs, mergers and acquisitions, shareholder transitions, equity incentive plans, shareholder litigation, divorce, and other situations where ownership value plays a critical role in decision-making for private companies.
Our work requires us to understand businesses in depth, work through complex financial and ownership issues, and develop conclusions and insights our clients can rely on. In many situations, our perspective also helps business owners understand what drives value, build stronger businesses, create more options, and preserve flexibility for the future.
We make the complex simple, provide value beyond the valuation, and bring the perspective gained from having a front-row seat to nearly every type of ownership transition.
We work at a high level because our clients expect it and because we expect it from ourselves. We hold a high bar for technical excellence, sound judgment, and follow-through. Our culture is built on our core values: Unbiased Integrity, Growth Mindset, Accountable to the Team, Tenacious Commitment to Quality, and Intrepid Confidence. These values shape how we operate, how we show up for our clients, and how we push each other to grow.
Adamy offers a fast-paced, collaborative environment where Analysts are expected to learn quickly, contribute meaningfully, and take ownership of their work. This is a place for people who are motivated by challenge, thrive under pressure, embrace feedback, and take pride in delivering excellent work.
Position Overview:
The Senior Analyst will play an important role in Adamy’s Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) practice, supporting valuation and transaction opinion engagements while also contributing to our other practices as needed. This position requires prior business valuation experience, including direct involvement in ESOP engagements, and offers the opportunity to tackle complex financial assignments with increasing independence.
The role combines technical financial analysis and valuation modeling with business and market research, report writing, problem solving, project execution, and extensive client interaction. Assignments span annual ESOP valuations; ESOP implementation, follow-on, releveraging, and termination transactions; and select ESOP advisory engagements. Through this work, the Senior Analyst will gain impactful exposure to the businesses, people, and decisions made behind employee ownership.
Success requires strong technical capabilities, an understanding of business value drivers, creative thinking, and the ability to translate complex financial information into clear, well-supported conclusions. The Senior Analyst must critically assess valuation assumptions, investigate key issues, and produce work that withstands scrutiny from a third party. Managing multiple engagements and competing priorities while meeting billable hour expectations will require precision, accountability, and discipline.
This is a demanding, hands-on opportunity to deepen technical expertise, assume greater responsibility for client engagements, and help shape a well-founded but expanding practice. Senior Analysts collaborate closely with colleagues, mentor less experienced analysts, and take an active role in their own professional development. Those who demonstrate curiosity, initiative, and consistently strong performance will have opportunities to broaden their responsibilities and directly contribute to Adamy’s growth.
