Manager of Portfolio M&A

Full time

Singapore / Hong Kong

Multiplier Holdings is a global VC-backed technology company that acquires and compounds high-impact professional services firms into category winners through the power of AI.

Multiplier iteratively develops and deploys a library of AI and workflow components that can be configured to fit the needs of each partner firm to automate critical, time-consuming tasks and drive growth and productivity while improving the experience for clients and staff.

We are looking for a high-agency Manager of Portfolio M&A to scale Multiplier’s decentralized inorganic growth engine.

Multiplier operates a fast-growing network of leading boutique accounting and tax firms across the world. As our portfolio grows, we see a major opportunity to scale the impact of our network through different types of inorganic growth initiatives:

• add-on acquisitions: help our firm leaders identify and execute add-on acquisitions of smaller practices, client books, and specialist capabilities

• acquihires / team lift-outs: work out proposals for talented operators or small teams who can join one of our portfolio companies and bring clients, capabilities, and / or local market expertise

• incubations: find exceptional operators and help them test and launch new firm concepts or service lines within Multiplier

We’re not looking for a traditional corp dev manager relying on brokers to offer up ready-made acquisition targets. Instead, you will design and operate a flywheel for decentralized inorganic growth working directly with our portfolio leaders to identify opportunities, build relationships with potential sellers and operators, and convert those relationships into real growth.

We believe this portfolio-led acquisition engine can become one of Multiplier’s most important long-term assets, taking learnings from great serial acquirers (Teledyne, Danaher, Constellation Software, …) and applying those to the global accounting and tax market.

You will also support broader corporate development efforts, including building financial models, preparing investment materials, and evaluating acquisition structures across markets.

We are looking for someone who is commercially sharp, highly organized, comfortable with financial statements and financial modeling, and able to build trust quickly with entrepreneurs and firm owners. The ideal candidate is also a top decile adopter of AI: someone who is eager to experiment with new tools, automate parts of their own workflow, and become the most AI-enabled version of themself.

This is a high-autonomy role for someone who wants to help build a new compounding engine from the ground up, while working with an experienced leadership team and a fast-growing global portfolio.
