Full job description
At EY, we’re all in to shape your future with confidence.
We’ll help you succeed in a globally connected powerhouse of diverse teams and take your career wherever you want it to go.
Join EY and help to build a better working world.
The opportunity
At EY-Parthenon, our unique combination of transformative strategy, transactions, tax and corporate finance delivers real-world value – solutions that work in practice, not just on paper. Benefiting from EY’s full spectrum of services, we’ve reimagined strategic consulting to work in a world of increasing complexity. With deep functional and sector expertise, paired with innovative AI-powered technology and an investor mindset, we partner with CEOs, boards, private equity and governments every step of the way.
As a Manager in our Transaction Diligence, you’ll work with many of the world's largest organisations, fastest-growing companies and private equity firms on some of the most complex deals in the global market. You will help to identify key value drivers, challenge assumptions about future performance, search for and advise on hidden value, and work with other EY service teams to deliver an integrated approach to our clients before, during and after the transaction.
This role is based in Naarm – Melbourne. Our roles can potentially be adjusted to work flexibly with reduced hours. Please speak with us about potential options.
Your key responsibilities
Lead and manage due diligence engagements related to the acquisition or disposal of businesses by private equity investors or strategic corporate buyers. This includes analysing financial and operational results through review of accounting records and management interviews, preparing and evaluating pro forma financial information, and project managing teams, information flows, and key stakeholders.
Deliver financial and commercial insights by identifying and analysing key value drivers that directly impact deal value and structuring. Based on your analysis, write up findings and recommendations that support decision-making.
Contribute to team development and business growth by sharing technical and other knowledge with your team, supporting recruitment and key account initiatives, and identifying opportunities to offer additional services to clients by understanding the firm’s capabilities.
Skills and attributes for success
Ideally, you’ll have the skills and attributes below but don’t worry if you don’t tick all the boxes. We’re interested in your aptitude, attitude and willingness to learn.
A bachelor’s or master’s degree in accounting, business, finance or economics, and membership with the Institute of Chartered Accountants or an international equivalent.
Demonstrated experience in a Transaction Services role within an Advisory environment, working independently and engaging with senior stakeholders across multiple engagements.
Strong Excel skills and a highly analytical mindset, with a passion for solving deal value questions within tight deal timelines.
A strong work ethic and the ability to adapt to new challenges and ideas in a collaborative team environment.
What we offer you
We will fuel your ambition and potential with future-focused skills development that equips you with state-of-the-art methodologies and technology-enabled solutions. With more than 25,000 people in 150 countries, you will join an inclusive and empowering culture that values your uniqueness, prioritizes your wellbeing, and immerses you in the diverse thinking and cross-cultural experiences necessary to help deliver impact to clients across the globe and to help build a better working world.
