Deal Advisory

As a graduate, you can expect real variety here in Deal Advisory. On this programme, you’ll join either our Deal Analytics or Technology in Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A) team, undertaking client-facing work, providing advice and adding value at every stage of the deal cycle – including on some very high profile deals.

Deal Analytics is a fast-growing team within Deal Advisory that adds value for clients across a wide variety of industries, using data-enabled solutions. Our team uses big data tools and our own analytics platform to transform large volumes of financial data into a user-friendly format, in order to provide insights into what really boosts performance. We provide insights on customers, products, and other areas including, but not restricted to, sustainability, revenue, pricing, profitability drivers, concentration risk, ‘winners & losers’ and wallet share.

The Technology in M&A team at KPMG has ambitious growth plans and you will be part of a growing and dynamic team. We work globally with both acquirers and vendors on pre- and post-deal technology challenges in M&A transactions while also developing technology-enabled in-house tools to best support our clients. Working alongside our colleagues within Deal Advisory, we provide an integrated and value-adding service to our clients to support them to make their transactions successful.

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.

As a graduate, you can expect real variety here in Deal Advisory. As 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 front-load 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.

Joining either Corporate Finance (Valuations and Infrastructure Advisory Group), Restructuring and Transaction Services (Financial Advisory, and Integration & Separation), during the 3 years programme you will have the opportunity to enhance your commercial understanding and broaden your knowledge and networks.

We offer 2 different training paths for our Deal Advisory Graduate Programmes – Empowered or Intensive. Both programmes take 3 years to complete; they just offer different routes to achieving success. Our Empowered Programme offers you the chance to work and study near your KPMG office and follow blended work experience and study (classroom and online learning) towards ACA or CA (Scotland) qualification - local to your home office location. Some travel will be required for client work and exams will be spread out over the 3 year programme.
