I chose EY because of the learning and development opportunities, exposure to a huge variety of high profile clients, and to be challenged. The team’s commitment to coaching has been invaluable.

Transaction Diligence Graduate

 

Transaction Diligence

When corporations or private equity clients prepare to do big deals, they need to know there won’t be any surprises. Whether a company is selling a part of or all its business or acquiring a new business, our team specialises in data analytics within financial due diligence – using data to assess risks and opportunities – and reporting on these to our clients, their banks, investors and others. In UK & Ireland (UK&I), we work across a wide range of sectors, including Retail, Energy & Infrastructure, Technology Media and Telecom, Life Sciences and Advanced Manufacturing & Mobility.

Technology in Transaction Diligence

Using technology and analytics is fundamental to what we do. We have innovative Analytics capabilities; we use Alteryx and PowerBI to analyse large datasets to obtain data insights for our clients, adding value to the deals we work on.

What will you be doing?

  • Analysing financial information, identify key trends and develop an in-depth understanding of the mechanics of each business
  • Communicating with client or target management to understand deal issues
  • Working in project teams, to produce reports summarising the key findings of our financial due diligence
  • Studying for the ICAS Chartered Accountancy qualification
    • Are you eligible to apply?

      We operate an open access policy, meaning we don’t screen out applications on your academic performance alone. You will, however, need to be working towards an honours degree in any subject, have a minimum of grade 4/C GCSE (or equivalent) in English Language and Maths, and three A-levels/Five Highers (or equivalent) to be eligible to apply. 

      We welcome applications from all academic backgrounds and are looking for individuals who will succeed at EY in the desired role and future qualifications, therefore throughout our recruitment process your academic performance will be considered against your online assessment scores to determine your suitability for an EY role. We are also proud to partner with RARE recruitment, so that your application can be processed in the context of your socio-economic background. This allows us to give you the maximum credit for your achievements, assessing whether you have overachieved in light of your personal circumstances.
