  4. Prepare quality first drafts of pitches, marketing materials, management presentations, and client presentations.
  5. Oversee electronic data rooms and manage due diligence processes for buy and sell-side engagements, working closely with client and target personnel.
  6. Operate as a multi-project team player working on small teams of 2-3 people, often with minimal leverage.
  7. Support VPs and SVPs in identifying and exploring potential new business.
  8. Perform financial due diligence, including analysis, data management, and report writing.
  9. Perform administrative activities in support of engagements, including independence compliance documentation, engagement agreements, time budgets, and billings.
  10. Collaborate with other service lines within Transaction Advisory Services, such as Transaction Support, Valuations, and Restructuring, as well as other services lines primarily within the Private Mid-Market Practice, such as Audit and Tax.
  11. Ability to quickly understand diverse business models, identify key value drivers, and assess the strategic impact of M&A transactions on a company's growth, profitability, and market positioning.
Requirements
  1. Working knowledge of Canadian and International Finance and Accounting concepts and understanding of key business drivers, principally as they relate to M&A transactions.
  2. Strong Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and financial modeling skills.
  3. Ability to work independently to complete tasks.
  4. An ability to work well under pressure with multiple competing deadlines, while maintaining attention to detail.
  5. Ability to develop relationships and liaison with EY colleagues and team members to achieve premium outcomes for our clients.
  6. A 'roll up the sleeves' attitude.
  7. A passion for working with entrepreneurs and private business owners and management teams.
  8. This role involves interaction with clients operating nationally and globally. Bilingualism in both French and English is therefore a requirement of this role.
Education and Experience

  2. Minimum 4+ years of relevant work experience (e.g. Investment banking, M&A, financing, corporate development, financial analysis, etc.).
