Competitive business today is all about making intelligent, informed decisions. As a Transaction Diligence Manager, 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 team of strategic advisors sits at the heart of a global Transaction Diligence network of specialists who deliver high quality solutions to clients, helping them to meet their strategic goals.
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.
