Job Description:

We work closely with innovation and technology to disrupt the traditional model of financial due diligence. We help corporate and private equity clients meet their strategic goals, whether they are acquiring, divesting, or raising finance. Our work spans multiple sectors and regions, often involving complex assignments across disciplines, jurisdictions, and service lines.

Our core focus is on using data and analytics in financial due diligence, assessing a target company's financial performance, business projections, identifying opportunities, risks, sensitivities, and potential mitigations, and reporting these to our clients, banks, investors, and other parties. The Transaction Analytics team supports financial due diligence with deeper insights and innovative digital solutions.

Companies collect data from various sources beyond standard financial accounts, such as EPOS, loyalty cards, and social media. Data analytics helps identify and evaluate trends and value drivers that might otherwise remain hidden.

You will work alongside experienced professionals, developing your skills in financial due diligence and technical training across sectors. Projects are typically part of a wider cross-service line team.

Your key responsibilities

As an Executive in the Transaction Analytics team, you will work on diverse client-facing projects, understanding key business drivers and contributing to the approach using digital solutions available across the firm and developed in-house. Your analysis will deliver value through insights and factual conclusions.

Skills and attributes for success

• Commercial thinking and ability to analyse businesses quickly
• Gathering, verifying, and assessing information to form views and conclusions
• Experience in planning, preparing, and reviewing deliverables like visualisations, reports, and presentations
• Strong attention to detail with a logical, methodical approach
• Teamwork and communication skills

To qualify for the role you must have

• A qualification in computer science, engineering, or a highly numerate science
• Relevant industry or transaction experience or commercial experience
• Understanding of data analytics tools (Alteryx, PowerBI)
• A passion for delivering high-quality client service

Ideally, you’ll also have

• Experience in a transaction environment and understanding how analytics add value across the transaction lifecycle
• ACA or equivalent financial qualification
• Client-facing experience from a professional services background
• Experience with VBA and SQL (not essential)

What we look for

We value dedication to teamwork, curiosity, proactive questioning, and confidence to suggest improvements. Combining technical skills with strong communication makes this role ideal for the right candidate.

What we offer

We provide a competitive package, support for flexible working, and career development through our Total Rewards program, including holidays, health, insurance, savings, and discounts. We also offer:

• Continuous learning: Developing skills to navigate future challenges
• Success as defined by you: Tools and flexibility to make a meaningful impact
• Transformative leadership: Insights, coaching, and confidence to lead
• Diverse and inclusive culture: Embracing individuality and empowering voices
