The opportunity

EY is a global professional services organization providing advisory, assurance, tax and transaction advisory services. We are committed to doing our part in building a better working world for our people, our clients and our communities.

The EY Strategy and Transactions (SaT) team combines all the experience and expertiseavailable within EY in order to offer a complete range of value-added services and to advise on corporate transactions.

Within SaT, the Transaction Diligence team aims to assist clients, both private equity firms and corporate clients, throughout the whole transaction process.
