At EY, you’ll have the chance to build a career as unique as you are, with the global scale, support, inclusive culture and technology to become the best version of you. And we’re counting on your unique voice and perspective to help EY become even better, too. Join us and build an exceptional experience for yourself, and a better working world for all.

Competitive business today is all about making intelligent, informed decisions. As a Transaction Diligence professional, you will help make that happen. You will be an important part of our diversely talented, highly experienced team and work at the forefront of high-profile transactions.

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.

The opportunity

You will analyse the financial and operational results of companies targeted for sale by reviewing financial information and participating in interviews with management. You'll work effectively as a team member by demonstrating your commitment to quality, sharing responsibility, providing support, maintaining communication and updating senior team members on progress. You'll also help to create a positive learning culture for other team members and support their development.

Your key responsibilities

As a Senior within the Transaction Diligence team, you will manage the project teams and work closely with all members as well as forming strong internal links within transaction support and other departments in EY. You will understand the key business drivers, co-developing our approach with the client, agreeing value measurements with the client, providing value to the client through insights, factual conclusions and advice. You will plan, prepare and review deliverables in various forms including excel data books, written reports, presentations and discussions with the client. You will understand the capabilities of the firm and look for opportunities to sell additional services to our clients. You will play a key role in business plan initiatives (e.g. key accounts, recruitment, and client service framework). You will take the responsibility for own learning and development, provide coaching to others, and participate in upward feedback.

Skills and attributes for success

Individuals with strong analytical skills will flourish in this environment, as you will regularly assist in researching technical accounting issues to evaluate implications on transaction valuation and structuring and prepare analyses of financial information to assess trends and fluctuations. Good communication skills will also be a key attribute for success within this role as you will be required to assist in preparing reports and schedules that will be delivered to clients and develop and maintain productive working relationships with clients.

To qualify for the role you must have

• 3 to 5 years of experience in Financial Due Diligence;
• Ability to analyse financial and non-financial information to formulate views and conclusions;
• Strong analytical, presentation and report writing skills;
• Excellent command of spoken and written English.

Ideally, you will also have

• Transactions/auditing experience;
• Client facing experience from a professional services background.

What we look For

Highly motivated professionals with a passion for solving complex problems and delivering tangible results. If you thrive in challenging environments and want to make a real impact on businesses during critical moments, this role is for you.
