Advisory Senior Consultant - M&A Data Analytics

Are you looking for a fast-paced, exciting and dynamic work environment to challenge your existing skills? Are you interested in solving complex business issues? If so, Deloitte is seeking Senior Consultant-level candidates for its M&A Transactions Services Analytics practice.

Today's M&A due diligence environment generates vast volumes of data and information, and almost all of this information is captured and stored in digital form.

Our clients include Fortune 500 companies in technology, financial services and banking sectors, health care, telecommunications and other industries, as well as the most dynamic private equity firms in the world.

Work you'll do

First, you will be key member of client deal teams through gathering, normalizing, validating, and analyzing transactional data (e.g., sales and inventory data) to develop and test hypotheses for a given deal. You will work as part of cross-functional teams providing financial, accounting, operational and tax due diligence, bringing your skills to the deal to manage and analyze the data, and utilize your visual analytics skills to tell a compelling story of our findings.

Second, you will be using business intelligence tools and use your data analytic skillset to provide meaningful insights to our clients which are crucial to their deal investment hypothesis. You will leverage your client service skillset directly interacting with C-suite and private equity executives providing advice on some of the most critical aspects of the M&A transaction.

A candidate can expect to do some or all of the following:

• Coordinate with FP&A and Strategic Finance personnel to identify, collect and validate data from client databases
• Analyze financial & key performance indicator deal data for trends and outliers
• Identify opportunities to design and develop visualizations and dashboards that enable effective and repeatable analysis of large transactional datasets
• Directly advise clients
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills are essential, as well as demonstrable evidence of effective team leadership, client relationship development, project management, and engagement management, preferably in a client service setting

Team members collaborate with other transaction service analytics professionals, members of the deal teams and clients to produce analyses within fast-paced transaction deadlines. This is not a "back-office" position; this is front-line client interaction with significant opportunity for growth and advancement.

The team

An in-depth understanding of the M&A landscape, market experience, and access to our global network of advisors means we have the capabilities to help clients confidently pursue strategic transactions in both domestic and global markets - this includes managing the entire M&A lifecycle.
