Job Details

Overview

Introduction

  • The M&A modelling team supports all of the deals (sell-side, buy-side, project finance and debt advisory) across the wider M&A team by providing model build services across a range of sectors.
  • We are a market leader in mid-market M&A deals and BDO’s M&A team has unrivalled experience of transacting over a wide range of sectors.
  • We work closely with our deal teams and clients throughout the deal process and look to add considerable value throughout this time; this means the client relationship and management is as important as the technical service delivery.

Financial modelling

  • Our modelling offering involves developing complex financial models using MS Excel.  Our models are customised to the specific requirements of each project and are therefore bespoke in nature.  
  • Our modellers work closely with the deal teams and the end clients, to understand the key drivers of the business that we are modelling.
  • A typical model build process will include, attending initial planning meeting, building of the operational model, continual explanation and development through client liaison and inclusion of financial / deal overlays.

Responsibilities

  • We are looking for someone with prior experience in financial modelling and ideally with some deal experience / exposure.
  • They will work under more experienced modellers, and from the start be an integral part of our delivery team.
  • There is significant scope for progression for the right individual once they have embedded themselves in the team and shown their capabilities to build robust financial models for M&A deals

Requirements

  • Numeracy – we deal with complex mathematical concepts and the candidate must be confident about abstracting ideas and deriving a suitable approach to solving the problem
  • Literacy – our service offering requires the ability to express clearly and concisely complex financial matters, with no room for ambiguity
  • Excel skills – while we expect to provide continual and ongoing training in the technical side of financial modelling, the candidate should have a good level of understanding and experience in building financial models
  • Deal experience – As most of our assignments involve working on M&A deals, experience of working on deals and an understanding of different parts of an M&A deal would be preferable
  • Ownership and responsibility – the candidate will quickly be in a position of delivering decision-critical work on deals; the desire and ability to take responsibility for the client’s requirements is therefore paramount to success within our team
