Whether our clients seek to expand organically or through acquisitions, realise value through a disposal or restructuring, raise new equity or debt finance or improve balance sheet funding efficiencies, the emphasis is on delivering innovative, practical solutions tailored to our clients’ specific requirements.

What is Financial Advisory?

Our market-leading Financial Advisory business offers a full range of services 

Our team has been growing strongly over the last number of years, and we have been at the forefront of a number of significant transactions with major Irish clients.

Deloitte Financial Advisory clients come from a range of industry sectors, which contributes to the diverse and varied nature of assignments. We work in teams that vary in size according to the assignment and are designed to foster a collaborative working approach across all levels. From an early stage, Associates are dealing with senior-level personnel in companies and are working on high-profile transactions which are often highly confidential and complex in nature.

As an Associate within the Financial Advisory group, we will develop your business acumen, and you will benefit from a very interesting and varied experience. You will pick up valuable industry sector and deal insights from experienced people specialised in the various aspects of Financial Advisory that will set you on the path to a successful career.

In addition, you will be supported in obtaining a Chartered Accountant qualification with the Institute of Chartered Accountants Ireland (ACA).

Our commitment to the professional development of our people is
absolute. Focused on technical, client relationship and technology skills, and
reinforced by on-the-job learning, our ‘lifelong’ tailored approach will ensure
you continue to progress in your career and become the leader you know you can be.

Structured technical training is available at each level of your
training programme. In addition, we also provide professional training, which
focuses on developing the competencies required to become a professional
advisor to clients such as management and leadership development.

What do our people say?

I definitely feel Deloitte provides different progression paths, with opportunities to work on secondment or other Deloitte global firms. I recently started a secondment in a financial institution, which I hope will provide me with valuable experience and an alternate perspective on working.
