The successful candidate will join a dynamic and collaborative global team of seasoned investment banking professionals and will work closely with senior leaders on all stages of the deal process. They will combine their experience and/or knowledge of the M&A/ capital raising transaction process with their financial and accounting acumen and keen interest in the technology, software and services verticals in which we focus.

• Project management of due diligence (set-up of virtual data rooms, Q+A, etc)
• Draft and participate in pitches
• Identifying buyers, targets, and investors

The Analyst must be eager to learn, comfortable taking on large amounts of responsibility quickly, adept at managing multiple projects, and capable of producing quality work with strong attention to detail on short timelines.

• Demonstrable interest and understanding of the M&A and capital raising process.
• 1-3 years of M&A, consulting, or transaction services experience
• An undergraduate degree, with relevant financial credentials (CPA/ CFA) a plus.
• Excellent communication skills and concise, professional business writing
• Knowledge of the software market, business valuation, and financial reporting/analysis
• Excellent analytical and communication skills
• Some financial modelling experience is a plus.
• Confident use of MS Office, particularly Excel and PowerPoint

The interview process includes an initial video call, a case study, and a final in-person interview.

We offer...

• Strong deal flow, exposure to interesting sectors and transactions, meaningful career development, and the opportunity to learn from industry leaders
• Global travel plus summer/winter parties across office locations (our previous three company-wide Summer Events were hosted in the UK, Sweden, and Denmark)
• The opportunity to participate in our global secondment programme at Carlsquare (typically offered after the second year)
• Excellent career opportunities in an internationally active M&A advisory firm with a great culture and a flat hierarchy
