Deal Advisory
Freedom to float your ideas
Why Deal Advisory at KPMG?
We help our clients to buy, sell, fund, fix and partner with confidence, taking them from an initial idea right through to delivery. It's all about blending our deep sector expertise with our execution skills and working with teams from the wider firm to help each client make the right decisions. It’s about aligning the work we do to where our clients need us most. Across everything we do, we want to deliver the kind of quality work that builds trust and achieves positive outcomes. One of the ways we're doing this is by giving you access to advanced technologies, which deliver deeper insights to our clients through data enhancement, pricing and modelling, benchmarking and reporting.
We need to be agile and innovative in the way we interact with our colleagues and clients in the current environment and we embrace technology and new ways of working to continue to provide our clients with the advice and support they need.
We offer a choice of routes into Deal Advisory specialising in different parts of our business. If you undertake our Deal Advisory Empowered or Intensive programmes you can expect to work in either Corporate Finance (Valuations and Infrastructure Advisory Group), Restructuring and Transaction Services (Financial Advisory, and Integration & Separation). If you want to specialise in Mergers & Acquisitions, then you should apply to our M&A Intensive programme. For those with a keen interest in technology and data analytics we also offer the Deal Advisory Data Analytics and Technology graduate programme which supports all areas of Deal Advisory.
As a graduate, you can expect real variety in Deal Advisory and because we're involved in the whole deal cycle, it isn't just about simply handling transactions. You'll be undertaking client-facing work, providing advice and adding value at every stage – including on some very high-profile deals. It could be that you're advising a company on a merger, how to turn a struggling business around, or how to see a new acquisition through successfully.
It's a fast-paced environment and you’ll come across plenty of new challenges. But you'll also have the support that comes from being part of a collaborative environment where fresh perspectives are valued, and questions are welcomed. Put simply, we'll make sure you have the responsibility you need to grow quickly along with the training you need to feel confident from the start. We'll also support you to achieve a professional qualification and you can choose the learning style that best suits you – you could frontload your exams or spread them out across the programme. Either way, you'll be an important part of the team from the start, with real scope to play your own part in shaping our future.
