You'll have a diverse range of stretching experiences which will give you continuous learning and development opportunities as well as a great sense of achievement.

The opportunity

At EY-Parthenon, our unique combination of transformative strategy, transactions, tax and corporate finance delivers real-world value – solutions that work in practice, not just on paper. Benefiting from EY’s full spectrum of services, we’ve reimagined strategic consulting to work in a world of increasing complexity. With deep functional and sector expertise, paired with innovative AI-powered technology and an investor mindset, we partner with CEOs, boards, private equity and governments every step of the way.

Our core work is due diligence, assessing a target company’s finances and business projections, identifying opportunities, risks, sensitivities and potential mitigations, and reporting on these to our clients, their banks, investors and other parties.

You will be working alongside experienced due diligence professionals, where you will continue to develop your skills to perform due diligence in a range of situations and sectors. There is the opportunity for travel, both within the UK and potentially internationally. When working on projects you will almost always be working as part of a wider cross service line team.

Your key responsibilities

As an Executive in Financial Diligence you would be a vital member of the team by analysing financial data and identifying key trends behind the performance of a business, discussing business performance and forecast assumptions with senior finance and operational management, and writing reports that set out our findings and recommendations around the key financial and business issues in a transaction.

Skills and attributes for success

• Commercial thinking and ability to analyse businesses at pace
• An ability to interact with and challenge management teams
• Strong attention to detail with a logical and methodical approach
• Team working and communication skills

To qualify for the role you must have

• A Degree (ideally in a financially related topic)
• Project management and Excel skills
• Evidence of report writing skills
• A passion to provide high quality service to your clients

Ideally, you’ll also have

• Transactions experience
• Client facing experience from a professional services background
• ACA or equivalent accounting qualification

What we look for

What’s most important is that you’re dedicated to working with your colleagues as part of a high-performing team. You’ll need to thrive in picking up new skills as you go, so natural curiosity, a lot of questions and the confidence to speak up when you see something that could be improved are essential. If you’ve got the right combination of technical knowledge and communication skills, this role is for you.

What we offer

We will fuel your ambition and potential with future-focused skills development that equips you with state-of-the-art methodologies and technology-enabled solutions. With more than 25,000 people in 150 countries, you will join an inclusive and empowering culture that values your uniqueness, prioritizes your wellbeing, and immerses you in the diverse thinking and cross-cultural experiences necessary to help deliver impact to clients across the globe and to help build a better working world.
