As a Summer Scholar in the M&A group at Deloitte, you'll be part of a national team that is the recognized marketplace leader among large professional services firms in providing merger, acquisition, and divestiture services to corporate strategic buyers and private equity investors. Our multi-disciplinary approach combines M&A, industry, and other function specialists to provide fact-based answers and objective feedback geared to minimizing risk and increasing returns.

At Deloitte, we support our clients in a variety of ways. Please take a look at our M&A Analyst tracks to understand the work that we do:

M&A Summer Scholar - Analytics

As an M&A Analytics Summer Scholar, you'll help clients and deal teams translate key finance, accounting, and operational questions into data-driven insights across the transaction lifecycle.

You'll work alongside experienced practitioners to build analyses, dashboards, and repeatable workflows that surface key value drivers and support confident business decisions.

Specific areas of work could include: 

• Work with key stakeholders (FP&A, Controllership, Strategic Finance, Private Equity teams, etc.) to gather, organize, and prepare data from relevant systems and sources

• Leverage accounting/financial knowledge to assess business implications of analytic results 
• Synthesize key takeaways, communicate actionable insights, and present findings in reports 
• Support innovation efforts leveraging new technology to create analyses, dashboards, and workstreams that enhance Deloitte's ability to serve clients

Specific work areas could include: 

• Demonstrate an ability to identify and evaluate business, industry, financial, and accounting-related risks in connection with the transaction 
• Assist in identifying potential "deal breakers", including industry, country, and deal-specific risks and opportunities 
• Evaluate a company's historical and projected earnings and cash flows; hidden contingencies, commitments, and exposures; as well as quality of assets and internal control structure 
• Review and comment on financial and accounting considerations in investment models, bank finance agreements, and public debt offering documents 
• Assist in structuring purchase price adjustment mechanisms and other relevant accounting and financial considerations in purchase agreements 
• Identify integration and post-transaction transition issues
