Job description

Job Description

When corporations or private equity clients prepare to do big deals, they need to know there won’t be any surprises. Whether a company is selling a part of or all its business or acquiring a new business, our team specialises in financial due diligence – assessing risks and opportunities – and reporting on these to our clients, their banks, investors, and others. In UK & Ireland, we work across a wide range of sectors, including Retail, Energy & Infrastructure, Technology Media and Telecom, Life Sciences, and Advanced Manufacturing & Mobility. In Financial Services, you’ll get the opportunity to specialise with our Financial Services clients, including FinTech.

Using technology and analytics is fundamental to what we do. We have innovative Analytics capabilities; we use Alteryx and PowerBI to analyse large datasets to obtain data insights for our clients, adding value to the deals we work on.

What you will be doing

• Working within the UK & Ireland (UK&I) or Financial Services (FS) teams to analyse financial information, identify key trends, and develop an in-depth understanding of the mechanics of each business across a range of clients, which could be local or international, corporate or private equity.
• Developing your analytical skills and providing diligence on the performance of companies to understand how they operate.
• Being part of market-leading transactions, whilst receiving both on-the-job training and formal training, as well as studying for the ICAS Chartered Accountancy qualification.
• Collaborating with project teams to produce reports summarising the key findings of our financial due diligence.
• In FS, you’ll also spend time in Assurance, gaining valuable accounting experience.

Requirements

We operate an open access policy, meaning we don’t screen out applications based solely on academic performance. You will, however, need to be working towards an honours degree in any subject, have a minimum of grade 4/C GCSE (or equivalent) in English Language and Maths, or in your home language if you do not hold English Language GCSE, and three A-levels/Five Highers (or equivalent) to be eligible to apply.
