Executive, M&A Analytics – EY-Parthenon, London
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.
We work closely with innovation and technology to disrupt the traditional model of financial due diligence. We help corporate and private equity clients to meet their strategic goals, whether they are acquiring, divesting or raising finance. As we work across multiple sectors and regions, the nature of our work often provides the opportunity to work on complex assignments that involve working with colleagues across a variety of disciplines, jurisdictions and service lines.
Our core work focusses on using data and analytics in financial due diligence, assessing a target company’s financial performance and business projections, identifying opportunities, risks, sensitivities and potential mitigations, and reporting on these to our clients, their banks, investors and other parties. The Transaction Analytics team work alongside the core financial due diligence teams to provide additional deeper insights and test value drivers with innovative solutions and advanced digital capabilities.
Companies are collecting more data with a plethora of sources beyond standard financial accounts including EPOS, loyalty cards and social media. The use of data analytics in financial due diligence can assist in identifying and evaluating trends and value drivers that would otherwise be hidden.
You will be working alongside experienced financial due diligence professionals, where you will continue to develop your skills to perform financial due diligence alongside technical training in a range of situations and sectors. When working on projects you will almost always be working as part of a wider cross service line team.
