Our Ability Jobs

Overview

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 Corporate Finance Inc. is the Ontario Securities Commission regulated entity through which KPMG LLP's investment banking services are provided in Canada. KPMG's Corporate Finance services are principally comprised of merger, acquisition and divestiture advisory services and financing services including raising debt and equity capital.

We offer independent financial advisory and investment banking services to both private and public companies. Acting independently of financing sources, we provide clients with objective advice, focusing on strategies that can help meet corporate and shareholder objectives. Our Canadian team consists of over 100 bankers and works with a global team of over 3,000 bankers in 92 offices, thus providing KPMG Corporate Finance with a broad reach and established contacts. In Canada, per a deal study by Refinitiv, we are the leading mid-market M&A advisors, completing the largest number of deals in 2022.

We are looking for an experienced Associate Vice President, Corporate Finance, to join our growing practice. In this role you will report to our Vice Presidents and Managing Directors. You are a self-starter who has an interest in mergers and acquisitions and capital markets and will bring your experience to deliver transactions for our clients.

What you will do

At times, business needs arise, and employees are required and agree to work beyond their normal workday or work week to fulfill the accountabilities required for their job. Likewise, employees need time to devote to personal matters, and our approach to flexibility provides for this.

What you bring to the role

• 3 - 5 years of relevant post-graduate experience, in Corporate Finance, or a related field e.g. transaction advisory, investment banking, private equity, management consulting, or corporate development.

• Proven track record of project initiation/execution in a fast-paced professional setting.
