KPMG are looking for a talented Senior Manager to join our expanding Balance Sheet Optimisation team within our Financial Services Consulting practice. Our Balance Sheet Optimisation team provides advice to clients in Financial Services (banks, insurers, investment firms) on approaches for optimising their balance sheets considering prudential regulatory requirements, macroeconomic conditions, market dynamics and business strategy.  

As a Senior Manager, you will be responsible for managing the delivery of a range of complex client projects, act as a technical subject matter expert in financial resource management and support our leadership team in the identification and development of business development opportunities.

You will be joining a proactive and forward-thinking specialist team that has secured a significant pipeline of interesting and challenging work.

The KPMG Audit Midlands function is a cornerstone of our business.  Operating from Birmingham and Nottingham we do work that matters, serving the region with diligence and expertise.

KPMG is one of the world's largest and most respected consultancies.  We've supported the UK through times of war and peace, prosperity and recession, political and regulatory upheaval. We've proudly stood beside the institutions and businesses which make the UK what it is.

We work with audited entities across multiple sectors including Insurance, Corporate Client, Listed and Retail.  This team is responsible for the delivery of best-in-class Audit solutions to a customer base who trust us to get it right first time.

Job Title: Senior Manager - EPM

Service Line: Finance Transformation

In KPMG's Management Consulting practice, we don't limit ourselves to either strategy or implementation. Instead, we deliver both - equally well. Indeed, it's this broad capability that's seen us accelerate to become a 1500-strong team. Since our creation, we've developed in-depth knowledge of an incredibly broad spread of sectors. Joining KPMG means joining a talented team of exceptional colleagues who bring innovative thoughts and a natural curiosity to the work they do each day. No one type of person succeeds at KPMG; a diverse business requires diverse personalities, characters and perspectives. There really is a place for you here.

The Team

In the Finance Transformation (FT) team, we improve the effectiveness and efficiency of Finance Functions and generate real insights to help deliver value to our clients. Our mission is to be the leading FT practice in the UK market, to be number one in our focus markets, and to be recognised as innovators in finance technology.

Our go to market approach is business-focused and our solutions are developed around client issues. Our team is therefore also structured by capability, providing specialist services and solutions in Finance Transformation, Enterprise Performance Management and Global Business Services.

Within our Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) team, our Connected Insights proposition helps our clients achieve a step change in performance, productivity and profitability by transforming their insights and analytical capability. We do this by understanding what actions and decisions need to be taken and what are the right KPIs, processes and data required to make that happen. This is enabled by advanced analytical techniques, technology, and centres of excellence that all contribute to better, faster decisions.

The Opportunity

KPMG’s Deal Execution practice is looking for exceptional candidates for a Manager role with a People-focused specialism in deals & transformations to join the People in M&A Centre of Excellence.

About KPMG Delivery Network

KPMG is focused on achieving significant growth ambitions while becoming the most trusted professional services firm. For Audit, this requires a relentless focus on key initiatives that drive Audit Quality and achieve Operational Excellence through standardization, centralization, automation, and innovation.

The establishment of a global delivery model, KPMG Delivery Network for Audit (KDN Audit), will help make significant strides in all these focus areas. We envision a network of global, regional, and specialty focused delivery centers that provide standardized services (on a cost recovery basis) to engagement teams in all member firms. The potential benefits are plentiful. Audit quality will be increased by the centralized, consistent performance of certain audit procedures. Engagement teams will be able to increase their focus on more complex procedures or on serving more clients. Our multi-national clients will have a more consistent experience around the globe. Most member firms will be able to achieve better margins. Finally, the firm will have a mechanism to help quickly deploy new and emerging solutions (e.g. ESG) and audit innovations (e.g. audit technology).

Role Summary

With the emergence of the CSRD, KPMG Delivery Network (KDN) will be at the forefront of delivering assurance to global clients through providing market leading expertise in ESG. The CSRD presents a transformative opportunity for KPMG’s global assurance practice.  This is your chance to be at the forefront of this opportunity and shape a more sustainable future, surrounded by specialists of a similar mindset.  Together, let's make a difference and create a more sustainable world and leave a lasting impact on the future.
