Corporate Finance Advisory vs. Acquisition Finance

Both these positions are at an investment bank. Can anyone help me figure out exactly what corporate finance advisory does (other than the description on JPM's website)? And is acquisition finance just another way of saying M&A?

Sorry for the noob questions. I don't think I've ever posted on the IB forum before.
