Ernst & Young TAS is growing and is looking for a senior consultant transaction support.
The Transaction Support team aims to assist clients, both private equity firms and corporate clients, throughout the whole transaction process. Whilst traditional financial due diligence is a key element of the service, transaction support is much broader, incorporating assistance with business plan assessment, including support to the transaction management, negotiation and documentation, and post-completion integration.
As a senior consultant transaction support, your tasks and responsibilities will include:
Performing financial due diligence procedures relating to the sale and purchase of companies and businesses together with your project team. You will do this with a view to identifying risks of importance that are relevant to the perception of a contemplated transaction.
Analyzing key balance sheet components and valuation issues, for example, identifying overvalued assets and undervalued/omitted liabilities.
Quantifying tax and other non compliance exposures
Coordinating with other advisors/investors (e.g. legal, lenders)
Supporting the buyer's negotiating position and purchase price adjustments.
Providing input to purchase and debt agreements and other related documents.
Analyzing working capital requirements and seasonality relative to proposed target levels.
