You’re intrigued by financial transactions and strategies. And it’s no wonder. Finance drives some of the biggest decisions in business and in society. Based on your interests and background, you should consider how Deloitte can help you pursue a career in finance.
One way is with our Engagement Financial Advisors (EFA) practice. Successful projects are supported by sound financial management and controls from the outset, and our EFA team is at the helm of these key financial and logistical decisions. As an adviser, you’ll gain first-hand experience by helping clients and Deloitte team members define what they need and how it can best be delivered by developing realistic best- and worst-case cost estimates that help keep projects on track and on cost. Details make all the difference; and so we scope out projects in as much detail as possible, using advanced financial, budgeting and forecasting techniques and software.
Another possible path is our investment banking analyst program with Deloitte Corporate Finance, where you’ll learn from seasoned investment bankers. Our analysts help guide clients throughout critical stages of financial transactions, particularly mergers and acquisitions. Through this program, you’ll gain comprehensive technical skills right off the bat, with projects that range from preparing pitchbooks to constructing complex financial models to performing operational due diligence.
Having a solid understanding of fundamental economic, accounting and financial principles is important here. But it’s not all about numbers. You need to be a good communicator too, because articulating financial strategies or capital structure decisions calls for two-way dialogue. Whichever path in finance you take at Deloitte, you’ll have mentoring and training opportunities along the way to help you progress in your career.
