The posting

KPMG is one of the most trusted and respected global professional services firms. Through depth of expertise, clarity of insight and strength of purpose we help our clients solve complex challenges, steer change, strengthen, transition and grow.

KPMG’s Deal Advisory team supports clients with high-value strategic and financial decisions, typically in the context of M&A or large-scale capital investment. We bring financial analysis, commercial acumen and market insights to deliver sound investments and fuel New Zealand’s prosperity.

The Opportunity:

  • KPMG has a longstanding presence in the New Zealand market as a trusted M&A advisor, with a senior team having extensive investment banking experience.
  • Join a growing M&A advisory team where you'll work alongside experienced dealmakers, helping clients navigate some of their most important strategic decisions, including acquisitions, divestments, capital raisings and growth initiatives.
  • We are looking to add a Manager, Senior Manager or Associate Director to support the execution and delivery of M&A advisory mandates.
  • As part of KPMG’s globally ranked M&A platform (consistently #1 or #2 in the mid-market) and leading New Zealand team (winner of INFINZ mid-market M&A deal of the year in 2026), you’ll have access to a strong pipeline of high-quality mandates, including domestic and cross-border transactions, often delivered in collaboration with colleagues across multiple jurisdictions.
  • For further information on the KPMG M&A team, see: https://home.kpmg/nz/en/home/services/advisory/deal-advisory/selling-a-business.html

Day To Day You Will:

  • Work closely and build trusted relationships with business owners, executives, boards and investors throughout the transaction lifecycle.
  • Analyse industries, markets and businesses.
  • Prepare key process materials (e.g. Information Memorandum, management presentations, etc.)
  • Develop financial models and undertake valuation analysis.
  • Develop commercial insights and recommendations that support critical business decisions.
  • Support the senior team with overall M&A process management.
  • Collaborate closely with the broader Deal Advisory team and senior stakeholders across the full M&A deal lifecycle.
  • Contribute to the efficient management of transaction processes and team operations.
  • Support the development and coaching of junior team members.

About You:

  • We welcome applications from candidates with at least 3+ years’ experience in M&A, investment banking, corporate development and strategy backgrounds.
  • If you've been involved in evaluating significant investments, growth opportunities or complex business decisions and are looking to apply those skills in an advisory environment, we'd love to hear from you.
  • A strong academic track record, demonstrating consistent performance.
  • Strong analytical and financial modelling capability, or a proven quantitative skillset.
  • Proven commercial acumen and the ability to understand key value drivers of businesses and industries.
  • A proactive, self-starting approach with ability to perform under pressure.
  • Strong communication and stakeholder management skills.
  • A genuine interest in M&A, corporate strategy and helping clients navigate complex business decisions.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
