Job description

Requisition ID: 1520480

The Challenge - What future are you building towards?

How does a rapidly growing company ensure that the financial organization keeps pace with the rest of the business? What do private equity funds do to create value for a portfolio company? How does a company navigate the complexity of an IPO?

If you are curious about the answers to these questions, we invite you to be part of our Transactions & Accounting team!

We strive to build long-term relationships with the clients we work with, supporting them from the early stages of fundraising, through the transformation journey to a mature organization, and all the way to the status of a publicly listed company.

Our Team - Do great minds always think alike?

When a company grows rapidly and the finance department cannot keep up with that growth, a problem arises. This can lead to missed opportunities for investment, inability to meet short-term obligations, or loss of support from stakeholders.

Our team collaborates with companies to prevent or solve this problem. We transform the finance department from a purely supportive function into a full-fledged business partner. We do this by leveraging our extensive knowledge of clients and industries to develop reporting structures, improve processes and policies, and advise management on how to engage with stakeholders.

The T&A team is fully integrated into the broader Corporate Finance and Transaction Strategy and Transactions ("SaT") practice of EY Parthenon, meaning our clients can benefit from our wide-ranging knowledge, skills, and experience. A key sector we work with is Private Equity, particularly for their portfolio companies.

Within T&A, there is no "standard day." Each assignment brings new challenges. Therefore, we encourage a culture where development, entrepreneurship, and initiative are central.

What You Will Do - How can you make a lasting impact in a rapidly changing world?

As a manager/senior consultant, you will work with the team to strengthen the financial organization of companies of various sizes in the context of a transaction. This can range from fundraising with private investors, selling to private equity funds, or an IPO.

Some activities you can contribute to includeAnalyzing data and engaging with company stakeholders to identify key areas for improvement. You will then make recommendations on how to address these improvement points. Examples include:

• Contributing to the strategic shaping of the target operating model for the financial organization, both before and after a transaction.
• Improving, strengthening, and scaling the financial organization of portfolio companies of private equity funds throughout the investment lifecycle.
• Supporting management in identifying relevant KPIs to drive business operations and developing a framework for capturing and reporting data.
• Acting as an independent advisor to management during the IPO process, providing support in project management, drafting the prospectus, or interacting with regulators, lawyers, and accountants.
• Contributing to the development of the team, both professionally and informally, and playing a role in building client relationships.

Our teams work both at our office in Amsterdam and on-site at the company, allowing you to experience the business dynamics and sector up close. You will have the opportunity to collaborate with other disciplines within EY Parthenon SaT, such as due diligence, valuations, strategy, and operations.
