Senior Consultant - Valuations

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's Deal Advisory Valuation group is searching for two Senior Consultants to join our growing Edmonton practice. With one of the largest teams of accredited business valuators in Canada, KPMG is a respected leader in providing valuations and fairness opinions. KPMG clients receive the attention of dedicated senior valuation professionals who remain actively involved in all aspects of the engagement.

Valuations are often subject to third-party scrutiny. KPMG professionals monitor the changing laws and sensitivities of regulators, standard-setting bodies, taxing authorities, and the courts. We adopt an anticipatory mindset to help ensure that contentious issues and potential objections are recognized and addressed prior to issuing our report.

Our valuation approach is rigorous. We invest the time required to understand the subject business, consulting with professionals from KPMG International's global network as necessary. We combine our theoretical knowledge of sophisticated financial techniques with our practical understanding of capital markets. We excel when faced with complex and unusual issues. Our conclusions are well-supported, and our reports are clear and concise.

• Working in teams to conduct market and industry research, as well as detailed financial analysis on historical results
