Our teams are based in Copenhagen and Aarhus, and no matter the location, you will be part of a professional environment that emphasizes local as well as global knowledge sharing.

In Corporate Finance, we contribute to companies’ achievement of their strategic objectives through local or global mergers and acquisitions (M&A). We are a team with strong expertise and credentials across all sectors, with a market-leading position within the Tech M&A landscape and an increasing focus on the sustainability sector.

We have a passion for advising business owners on life-changing events. We go to work every day to pursue, strengthen, and balance the three core pillars in the team: i) having fun, ii) developing ourselves and iii) succeeding with all our transactions.

We are the lead advisor in M&A processes and provide comprehensive support to business owners, private equity firms, and corporate clients across all stages of the M&A process: from preparing business plans and conducting valuations to managing buyer interactions and crafting effective deal negotiation strategies. We are proud to say that we have become an integral part of the infrastructure in Danish investment banking, and we take pride in having been awarded “Financial M&A Adviser of the Year”.

As a part of Corporate Finance, you will become part of an ambitious, dynamic team that enjoys spending time together both at work and for social occasions. You will be joining a large team with a strong and positive culture with a lot of different backgrounds and personalities.

As a graduate at EY, you’ll have the chance to build a truly exceptional experience by working with Financial due diligence across different sectors and businesses. You will have the opportunity to join a dedicated team responsible for conducting financial analyses and offering transaction advice to the largest and most prominent clients, both nationally and internationally, spanning corporate entities and private equity firms.

In our field, we specialize in financial due diligence throughout the mergers and acquisitions process. Our primary goal is to provide our clients with insights into a company's financial health, enabling them to have the best foundation for buying or selling decisions. This involves aiding our clients in understanding business drivers through the use of cutting-edge analytics tools and advanced financial analyses.

We are a skilled, sociable, and diverse team, representing various educational backgrounds and nationalities. We share a common passion for financial analysis and are committed to supporting our clients in making informed decisions.
In the Valuation, Modeling, and Economics service area, we offer a comprehensive range of financial analysis and decision support services. Our overarching team is divided into three sub-teams, each with its own unique focus.

In Valuation, we perform valuations of companies and individual assets that recognize the need for transparent and robust consulting to satisfy corporate, regulatory, and accounting requirements. We help clients within a broad range of sectors advance their strategic, financial and tax agendas through corporate finance, the use of analytics and economic analyses.

In Modelling, we work towards the green energy transition by enabling major Danish and international investment funds, institutional investors, and developers to make investment decisions within the renewable energy and power-to-x space. At our core, we develop complex financial models and detailed assessments and valuations of energy projects, often in combination with running M&A and debt financing processes. Further, we provide various financial modelling services for large corporates across different sectors.

In Economics, we provide a wide range of services within the fields of corporate finance, debt and financial advisory, investment modelling, public-private partnerships, public infrastructure projects, cost-benefit analysis, health economics, modelling and advanced data analysis, competition and compensation, risk analysis valuation and investor advise for infrastructure investments.

Our work is typically related to financial advisory on some of the largest infrastructure projects in Denmark and the Nordics. We feel highly motivated to create success by advising clients in investment decisions on projects large enough to make an actual difference and create a better tomorrow.
In the Strategy & Execution team we focus on a broad range of topics within Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A) as well as Transformation. We work closely with our clients to develop and execute strategies that strengthen competitiveness and long-term value creation. Moreover, we assist clients throughout the entire M&A cycle, from strategy to purchase and sale, with key deliverables such as commercial due diligence, software due diligence and operational integration/separation.

Strategy

In the Strategy team, we assist clients by delivering comprehensive market, competitor, and customer insights to help them navigate their business challenges and opportunities. Our work revolves around business model strategies, new market entry, portfolio strategy, value creation, commercial due diligence (buy and sell-side), and performance improvement. We serve a range of clients, both PE and corporates, across all sectors and work in close collaboration with executive management and company owners to create meaningful and long-lasting impact.

When you join the Strategy team you will be an integral part of delivering value for our clients from day one, working closely together with the rest of the team. You will experience a steep learning curve driven by a multitude of different projects, tasks and sparring with experienced Consultants and Managers as well as significant exposure to Partners.

Execution

In the Execution team we support clients with development, evaluation, and end-to-end execution of their transaction strategy. Our teams help clients to prioritize investment, quantify and implement portfolio optimization opportunities, and identify M&A targets to help achieve full potential. We are building a culture where you are embraced for who you are.

What is special about working in our team is that we engage with a broad range of stakeholders from the CEO to the functional lead and that our projects are very different depending on the situation. This means that you will advise clients throughout the M&A lifecycle from due diligence, negotiations, day 1 operating model and post-merger integration (PMI).

We offer opportunities to work across the following diverse areas, with opportunities to focus as you progress:

Deal Strategy and Value Creation
Technology and Operational Due Diligence
Buy & Integrate and Sell & Operate
