What you will do
KPMG is experiencing significant growth in demand to support our clients. We are currently looking for interns in KPMG’s business strategy and financial modeling team. This dedicated team of specialists, as a part of the larger KPMG Valuation group, advises corporations and institutional investors on strategic, operational, and financial topics. We work directly with our clients to quantify and solve complex business and investment challenges, and support client’s management with making the right decisions, based on sound, fundamental analysis.
The Business strategy and financial modeling team works on large scale mandates in a variety of industries ranging from telecommunications and agriculture to events, healthcare, energy and several others.
You will be called upon to:
Assist company executives in developing short and medium-term strategic plans:
Define a growth plan based on competitive environment, market size and trends;
Determine the optimal capital structure; and
Identify short and medium-term financing needs.
Work in collaboration with the team to conduct detailed market research and financial analysis as part of commercial due diligence for acquisitions or expansions (M&A).
Support the client’s management team in establishing assumptions related to revenue growth, cost structure and capex deployment.
Develop and revise financial models for strategic planning, investment decisions, portfolio analysis, capital allocation, debt analysis, cost-benefit analysis and tax planning.
Prepare and present Excel and Power Point presentations to C-suite executives.
Develop relationships with clients and prospective clients.
What you bring to the role
We are looking for candidates with the following qualifications:
An excellent undergraduate or graduate academic record, preferably in fields such as administration, with a focus on accounting or finance, or other relevant technical areas.
A strong record of extracurricular involvement (case competitions, student organizations, collective initiatives, etc.).
Experience in financial analysis is an asset (investment banking, corporate development, equity research, corporate financial planning and analysis, consulting).
Advanced skills in financial modeling within Microsoft Excel.
Advanced knowledge of Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, and PowerPoint).
Excellent written and oral communication skills; experience preparing compelling presentations and reports.
Proven ability to demonstrate initiative, judgment, and analytical problem-solving skills.
Effective organization and time management skills with ability to work in a demanding environment and adhere to project deadlines.
Strong ability to build relationships with clients, colleagues, and community members.
You are the person we are looking for if you are curious and eager to learn, if your approach puts the client at the heart of your priorities, if you enjoy teamwork, if you thrive on challenges and are looking for an environment where you will quickly develop the skills you need.
This role requires verbal and written communication skills, in both French and English. English is required because there will be daily communications with stake holders that only speak English, within and outside of Quebec which requires excellent skills in both written and spoke form. The candidate will be mandated to create documentation in both languages regularly.
