EY-Parthenon Manager – Financial Diligence

At EY-Parthenon, our unique combination of transformative strategy, transactions, tax and corporate finance delivers real‑world value – solutions that work in practice, not just on paper. Benefiting from EY’s full spectrum of services, we’ve reimagined strategic consulting to work in a world of increasing complexity. With deep functional and sector expertise, paired with innovative AI‑powered technology and an investor mindset, we partner with CEOs, boards, private equity and governments every step of the way.

Our core work is due diligence – assessing a target company’s finances and business projections, identifying opportunities, risks, sensitivities and potential mitigations, and reporting on these to our clients, their banks, investors and other parties. You will work alongside experienced due diligence professionals, continuously developing your skills to perform due diligence in a range of situations and sectors. There is opportunity for travel, both within the UK and potentially internationally.

When working on projects you will almost always be part of a wider cross‑service line team.

In your role as a Senior Executive (Manager) you will have responsibility for understanding the key business drivers, co‑developing our approach with the client, agreeing value measurements with the client, and providing value to the client through insights, factual conclusions and advice. You will project‑manage teams and work closely with all members as well as forming strong internal links within Transaction Diligence and other departments in EY both in the UK and internationally to form multi‑disciplinary teams.

You will gather, verify and assess information to formulate views as well as plan, prepare and review deliverables in various forms including written reports, presentations and discussions with the client. Additionally, you will:

• Plan and monitor the progress of the team
• Share your technical and other knowledge with your team and the department
• Build on and develop internal and external networks through personal contacts
• Understand the capabilities of the firm and look for opportunities to sell additional services to our clients
• Play a role in business plan initiatives (e.g., key accounts, recruitment, client service framework)
• Be a true business advisor to the client and establish yourself as a key client contact
• Take responsibility for own learning and development, provide coaching / support to others, and participate in upward feedback

• Be able to gather, verify and analyse information to formulate views / conclusions
• Demonstrable experience in planning, preparing and reviewing deliverables in various forms including written reports, presentations and discussions with the client
• Offer a supportive culture to junior members of the team, assisting their development

• Strong commercial experience and/or relevant industry or transaction experience (including financial due diligence experience)
• A passion to provide high quality service to your clients

• Excellent communication skills, both oral and written
• Project management skills
• Effective time management, able to keep calm when under pressure to meet deadlines
• Team playing ability with the capacity to build effective relationships at all levels
• Counselling skills (though not essential)

What’s most important is that you’re dedicated to working with your colleagues as part of a high‑performing team. You’ll need to thrive in picking up new skills as you grow, to possess natural curiosity, ask questions and have the confidence to speak up when you see something that could be improved. If you’ve got the right combination of technical knowledge and communication skills, this role is for you.

We will fuel your ambition and potential with future‑focused…
