At the same time, you'll have the freedom to work in a way that fits your life. Whether you choose to specialize, broaden your expertise, or grow into leadership, you're in the driver's seat. Together with ambitious colleagues in an open and trusted culture, you aim for the best every day. Big on opportunity, friendly in collaboration. EY provides the resources you need to shape your career and make an impact in your field.

Your new job | About your main responsibilities

Leverage your expertise as a Senior Manager in Financial Due Diligence and make a difference in the transaction world.

With us, you will have the opportunity to conduct in-depth financial analyses and provide valuable insights to the owners and management teams of our clients. As part of our team, you will be involved in assessing financial information, identifying risks and opportunities, and presenting clear reports. Do you want to use your financial expertise to contribute to successful transactions?

Responsibilities

• You will manage engagements where we analyze the historical and projected results of the company, its financial position, and other complex issues, using data analytics, combining insights from various sources, and conducting interviews.
• You'll lead complex financial due diligence projects from scoping to completion, coordinating multidisciplinary teams and overseeing quality control.
• By reviewing (projected) EBITDA, working capital levels, and balance sheet positions, you will map out the value drivers, opportunities, and risks of the company.
• Together with the team, you will translate your conclusions into specific points of attention for the valuation and structuring of the transaction. This will provide input for negotiations regarding the purchase price and terms of the transaction.
• You will be the critical link in the M&A process with your team, maintaining close contact with other advisors, both within and outside EY, and other stakeholders in the transaction.
• Contribute to the development of the team and thought leadership.

Your new team | About your colleagues and the office

Mergers and acquisitions are among the most complex projects for a company, with significant strategic impact. The risks associated with such a transaction can be substantial, with many factors influencing the success and speed of the transaction. To avoid the well-known "cat in the bag," the buyer must conduct thorough research into the financial, commercial, operational, and legal aspects of the company to be acquired. The specialists in Transaction Diligence act as a spider in the web when conducting financial due diligence investigations.

The Team

Within the Transaction Diligence department, we investigate and analyze financial results to understand the story behind them and gauge financial health. The goal is to assist our clients in making strategic investment decisions. You will work closely on a project with direct colleagues and other departments within EY to form a complete picture of the company being investigated. Our clients are very diverse, including multinationals, SMEs, financial institutions, and private equity firms.

Your office - Amsterdam

Our Amsterdam office is located at the Zuidas: a bustling area full of companies. In our Cross Towers, we welcome up to 1,500 people every day. For a breathtaking view of the city, head to the 22nd floor. Collaboration takes on a new meaning in our Wavespace, a high-tech environment that connects clients and colleagues virtually across the globe.

Your skills and strengths | About your unique contribution

• You have at least 8 years of work experience in mergers and acquisitions, and have strong affinity with corporate finance, and the financial world in general.
• You hold a master's degree in Finance, (Financial) Economics, Finance & Investments, Accounting & Financial Management, or another finance-oriented or technical field.
• You have strong commercial acumen and experience in leading teams and engagements.
• You are proficient in both Dutch and English, both spoken and written.
• You are experienced with Microsoft Office and Excel, and have an affinity for working with new data analysis tools (Alteryx and Power BI).

Your benefits | About your perks and work enjoyment

• A competitive salary that reflects your role and responsibilities, depending on experience and qualifications. Plus, a solid pension plan for the future. In addition to your salary, you'll receive holiday allowance and an annual bonus (based on performance and development).
• You'll receive a permanent contract for 40 hours.
• A laptop and phone for both work and personal use, and a monthly internet allowance.
• 34 vacation days to recharge and unwind, plus the option to buy extra days.
• With the mobility budget, you decide how you travel. Choose a lease car, a discounted public transport subscription, or arrange transport easily via our app.
