# M&A Data Analyst

**Folder:** Strategy & Business Development / M&A Analyst / Data Analyst

## What does it do?

An M&A Analyst gets pointed questions about a target's financials and data that standard outputs don't answer.

This agent does the analysis: it translates the question into the right cut of the target's data (revenue quality, margin bridges, customer concentration), runs it, and explains the finding with implications for the deal.

## Benefits

- Real answers to deal questions.
- Earnings and margin quality analyzed.
- Concentration risks surfaced.
- Findings explained with implications.
- Reproducible method.

## Recommended setup

• MCP — target data via Sheets/warehouse; Slack.
• Skill — an analysis skill standardizing finding → driver → implication.
