At KPMG, you’ll join a team of diverse and dedicated problem solvers, connected by a common cause: turning insight into opportunity for clients and communities around the world.

KPMG's Integration Separation team, Operations M&A in Deal Advisory, helps companies to identify and deliver value from mergers and acquisitions. We specialize in provision of services in an around the deal cycle, including pre-merger due diligence and post-merger integration. We work with management and stakeholders to assess the impacts of a transaction and develop detailed implementation plans to help ensure the strategic reason of the acquisition or divestment is delivered. We work with a wide range of clients, including publicly, privately and private equity held companies across a variety of industries.

• Coordinating and supporting our clients in delivering value from their transactions, by playing a leading role on engagement teams:
