Senior Consultant - Strategy and Transactions

Senior Consultant - Strategy and Transactions

Our Strategy and Transactions team helps potential investors uncover hidden problems or future risks in the companies they are about to buy. Our role is to identify and assess the financial situation of companies through an in-depth analysis of financial and business information, drawing the client’s attention to risks associated with the transaction. To be fully prepared for such deals, investors need to know all details and understand the underlying narratives. We prepare due diligence for clients to be used as the basis for negotiating the purchase price. Our daily work involves financial analyses, reports, work in Excel and preparation of final reports.

As a member of our team, you will work on projects and cooperate with many multinationals, startups, fast-growing companies, and private equity firms. These projects will primarily take place in Slovakia and the Czech Republic, but some due diligence projects will allow you to travel abroad, mainly within Europe.
