Deloitte Mergers and Acquisitions Transaction Services

I'm slightly confused on the title of the job. I did a search and the titles seemed to have changed from AERS and FAS so I was trying to figure out if this is a good opportunity to open doors in the future or a position I should pass on. From the description it seems very accounting based which makes me feel that it has little to do with valuations, but I just want to verify this.
