The Team

KPMG Deals Advisory Strategy Group is looking to attract professional, talented individuals who have a passion for identifying and creating innovative solutions for clients. This team is looking for an exceptional Analyst to join the team.

The Strategy Group (TSG) supports clients on their most complex challenges, creating and driving value right across the deal lifecycle.

Working Environment

Everybody has their own unique circumstances. We’ll try hard to accommodate yours, creating a schedule that works for you. That’s true for any employee, at any grade, in any part of KPMG in the UK.

It’s called Intelligent Working. That means considering any working schedule that’s outside the traditional working pattern, focusing on outcomes rather than time spent at work. The aim is to achieve the right balance for everyone, enabling us to help our people build their careers without sacrificing their personal priorities. It’s all about focusing on outcomes and trusting our people to do the right thing for themselves and our firm.
