About Us

At KPMG Belgium, you will join a team of diverse and dedicated problem solvers, connected by a common cause: to turn insight into opportunity for clients and communities around the world.

The M&A Advisory team, part of KPMG’s Deals & Strategy practice, aims to advise clients on potential sales, mergers and acquisitions of companies. The team supports clients throughout the various phases of an M&A transaction and contributes from the very early stages, during which a client (corporate or private shareholder) considers the strategic path forward, through to the final phase, supporting the signing and closing of an agreement.

What will the role involve?

As a member of the M&A Deals Advisory team, you will be responsible for supporting business origination efforts, executing transactions and supporting senior team members in further developing the M&A and corporate finance service offering of KPMG Belgium.

• Regarding transaction execution, you are expected to support key workstreams including, among others, preparing high-quality transaction documentation, coordinating due diligence, financial modelling, in-depth financial and business plan analysis, and valuation, while demonstrating the required expertise in process management across the entire transaction lifecycle;
• Assist in preparing value-added pitch content and supporting the strategic dialogue with clients. This includes helping to build sector knowledge, mapping the M&A market across various sectors, assisting in identifying key targets, and gathering relevant market intelligence;
• In essence, demonstrate a strong willingness to learn and contribute to origination efforts in M&A;
• Actively contribute to the development of more junior members of the M&A team, supporting them in achieving high-quality standards in transaction origination and execution.
Individual initiative and ambition contribute directly to KPMG's success. Regardless of role or location, impact, leadership, and collaborative success are recognized and valued.

Requisiti :

• A Master's degree in Business Administration, Finance or Engineering;
• Minimum 2-3 years of transaction experience in Investment Banking and M&A at an international investment bank, M&A boutique or within a Big4 corporate finance team;
• Experience with buy-side and sell-side M&A. Experience with equity and debt financing is considered a strong asset;
• Strong financial modelling skills, including technical expertise, with proven competencies in analytical assessment of businesses and sectors, and a solid understanding of valuation principles and techniques (e.g. DCF, LBO, merger modelling, comparable companies, precedent transactions);
• Strong analytical skills, including the ability to interpret data, generate insights, develop solutions and think creatively;
• Experience in preparing and maintaining industry/company presentations, benchmarking materials and other process documentation;
• Enjoyment of working in a project-based environment, combined with strong project management skills;
