Why this firm

From the inside

Reasons that work in interviews

4 reasons for Deloitte Corporate Finance

One reason works across this whole category and is worth using once, in your own words: this is where you learn the diligence side of a deal, which is the half most bankers never see. Saying you want to understand what a quality of earnings actually tested before you start relying on one is a better answer than anything about brand, and it sets up the “why banking later” question cleanly rather than making it awkward.

1
Largest financial advisory practice in Canada, with restructuring and debt advisory alongside M&A rather than as separate firms.
2
Restructuring exposure is counter-cyclical: the skill keeps working when M&A does not.
3
Breadth of practice means you can move between advisory, diligence and restructuring without changing firm.
4
National footprint gives access to mandates outside Toronto, which matters if you want to stay in your region.

Infrastructure & Real Estate

Product 4

Sit inside investment banking and work across the coverage teams rather than holding clients of their own. M&A is the one to understand: it does the modelling and execution on deals most coverage groups originate.
