The day starts with producing the relevant due diligence analyses for a potential buyer. Based on these analyses, specific questions are generated for the management of the takeover candidate whom we are due to meet in the afternoon. After a brief lunch with the team, we conclude our coordination of the analyses undertaken so far and open items, and agree the agenda with colleagues from the Tax Due Diligence Team. Afterwards, we go to the management meeting with the CEO and CFO of the potential takeover candidate. The discussions with the management team and additional documents sent to us following the meeting help us with further analysis and in preparing the report for our client. The next project could be in a completely different industry, on the seller's side, in another country or in the field of restructuring or post-merger integration.
An unforgettable experience at Deloitte…
Especially in the first years after university, contacts with top management and working on sensitive and diverse projects are very instructive and leave a lasting impression. Plus, memorable team and company events, such as the annual Financial Advisory Ski Weekend and Young Deloitte Events, are also part of the Deloitte experience. In particular I would like to mention the Due Diligence Introductory Training Week in Rome. Together with 20 colleagues from all around the EMEA region – some with a few months, others with up to 4 years of experience – throughout the day we intensively worked through the theory and techniques of due diligence and solved specific case studies in teams. In the evenings we either had the pleasure of experiencing an organised evening meal that took us on a journey through Italian cuisine, or we were spontaneously immersed in Roman nightlife. Instructive, demanding, intensive, international and entertaining ... all rolled into one: a real Deloitte experience.

In Financial Advisory, a typical day does not exist. The day starts with a team briefing before spending one hour to coordinate foreign due diligence teams working on a multinational transaction. A taxi is waiting to take me to a meeting with the CFO of a target company over lunch. Back in the office, I am working with my team to complete a report for a high-profile client. The partner briefs me on a proposal which needs to be prepared: a Swiss company is considering the acquisition of an oil storage facility in West Africa. We have to react quickly. At the end of a busy day, the team is heading off to the nearby lake to enjoy some drinks. One thing is sure: tomorrow will be different.
An unforgettable experience at Deloitte...
I participated in an international training held in Madrid, Spain. During one week, 25 M&A professionals from 15 different countries trained together during a week and shared a great Spanish nightlife. The experience of different cultures using successfully one business approach is impressive!
