Job description

Overview

At KPMG, you’ll join a team of diverse and dedicated problem solvers, connected by a common cause: turning insight into opportunity for clients and communities around the world.

We help companies grow and enhance shareholder value by providing strategic advice on major transactions. As one of the world’s leading transaction advisers, we provide an integrated portfolio of investment banking and advisory services, including mergers, acquisitions and divestitures, transaction support, capital market transactions, restructuring services, valuations and fairness opinions. Acting independently of financing sources, we are able to provide clients with pure, objective advice, focusing on strategies that can help meet corporate objectives.

KPMG Professionals Are…

Individuals who take deep personal accountability for their work, have a passion for excellence, driven to achieve their full potential and understand the value of building relationships with clients, future clients, their communities, the global firm and each other. A KPMG professional should have all the following characteristics:

• Strong work ethic
• Thrive on challenges
• Dedicated to providing outstanding client service
• A strong entrepreneurial mindset

What you will do

KPMG is experiencing significant growth in demand to support our clients. We are currently searching for a Consultant/Senior Consultant in KPMG’s Investment Analytics team (Business Valuation). This dedicated team of specialists, as a part of the larger KPMG Valuation group, advises corporations and institutional investors on strategic, operational, and financial topics. We work directly with our clients to quantify and solve complex business and investment challenges, and support client’s management with making the right decisions, based on sound, fundamental analysis.

The successful candidate will be responsible for:

• Participate in the execution of valuation mandates in support of transactions (mergers and acquisitions), financial reporting, and other services, across a variety of industries.
• Manage multiple mandates simultaneously while ensuring deadlines are met.
• Review documents obtained from client management, including but not limited to: business plans, financial statements, contracts, and CIMs.
• Prepare financial models, appropriately apply valuation methodologies, and perform financial analyses using tools such as Bloomberg and Capital IQ.
• Conduct research on the industries of the companies being valued as well as on the general economy to support valuation conclusions.
• Prepare, review, and edit valuation reports for our clients.

At times, business needs arise, and employees are required and agree to work beyond their normal workday or work week to meet client deadlines. Likewise, people need extra time to devote to personal matters, and our team’s approach to flexibility provides for this.

What you bring to the role

The successful candidate will also possess the following:

• Bachelor’s and/or Master’s degree in finance, accounting, or economics.
• CFA, CBV, CAIA, FRM designation (an asset).

• Strong interest in continuous learning.
• Excellent work ethic and commitment to meeting deadlines.
• Ability to communicate effectively and professionally with senior management of our clients.
• Excellent analytical and writing skills.
• Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.

This position requires proficiency in both French and English. The selected candidate may be required to support and collaborate with English-speaking colleagues or stakeholders from KPMG Canada located outside of Quebec. This requires the ability to communicate effectively in both spoken and written French and English.

• Ability to manage own learning and succeed in a fast-paced environment
• Excellent organizational skills and capacity to manage priorities, with a strong attention to detail
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
